THESE SHOES ARE MADE FOR WALKING ON WATER

Hiking boots made it possible to walk on rough terrain, snowshoes made it possible to walk on snow, and now WAVEWALK's product makes it possible to walk on water.

Another human dream materializes:
Since antiquity mankind has been dreaming to walk on water. As a universal dream it became one of Leonardo DaVinci's engineering projects, like flying and traveling under water.
In Boston, 1858 --H.R. Rowlands experimented with walking on water long before the Wright brothers began their quest for a solution to the problem of human flight.
Rowlands and others that followed over the past two centuries tried hard but achieved little progress. Walking on water therefore remained synonym for performing miracles.
The problems related to walking on water --mainly stability and effective propulsion, proved to be hurdles that virtually all inventors to this day have not overcome, and with good reason. Indeed nature has many creatures that can fly and many others that can swim, and while aquatic birds can surf-swim and one lizard can dash on water for short distances. Walking on water has therefore been reserved to a small group of lightweight insects and arachnids.
Recently, now fully one hundred years after the Wright brothers realized the dream of human flight, the problem of mankinds inability to walk on water has finally been solved, in Newton, Massachusetts - not too far from Boston, where Rowlands had begun the quest over a hundred and forty years ago a solution has finally been created.

The walking configuration of the W-Boat makes it possible for a person to walk on water at a normal pace without any additional accessory -- not even for turning.
The user gets into the specially designed floats on dry land. All he/she has to do is walk to the water and keep going until hes walking on it. Normal current, waves, wind and underwater rocks offer no problem. Even thin ice simply breaks under the users feet and is easy to go through. Steering and maneuvering are done intuitively with the legs and by shifting one's weight.

Walking and Sports
As humans are bipeds the preferred way for them to move is using their legs. This is why walking ad satnding are essential to so many sports practiced and played on dry land, snow and/or ice -- from basketball to alpine skiing. The seated versions of sports, if practicable have always been less popular than the upright ones.

The void in water sports and fishing:
This is true on static, hard surfaces, but what about sports on water?
-Until the appearance of the W-Boat individual, human powered water sports equipment belonged to two main categories: boats and boards. The first include small vessels such as dinghies, canoes and kayaks, and the latter water skis, surfboards and sailing boards. None of these enables comfortable standing, paddling in a satnding position and walking on water.

Improvements and changes:
The introduction of the W-Boat into water sports is about to change all of this. People will now be able to navigate on water in a manner substantially similar to the way they do on land.
It is now be possible to water ski without having to spend time in the water if you dont so choose, even on a wavy sea.
It is now possible to paadle in a standing position in full power, comfort and stability and enjoy unmatched freedom.
Windsurfing is made easier and simpler for most people to practice and pursue. -All that is required to sail the W-Boat is just to plug-in a universal rotational joint for a windsurfing rig.
It is now possible to ski down rivers in mild and even extreme water conditions without being towed by a motorboat.
It is no longer be a requirement to buy or know someone who owns a motorboat to enjoy cruising on the water tips".
When used for fresh water fishing the W-Boat offers ultimate mobility and the chance to get back into those out-of-the-way coves where the big-ones" nest and hide.
The W-Boat is a powerful paddleboat- fast, agile and very stable. Is is easier to use than a kayak or canoe and offers better performance.

The W-Boat will be commercially available in spring 2003.
