- Location: Narragansett bay, Rhode Island
- Vessel: Wavewalk S4 motor kayak skiff, the world’s most stable kayak
- Engine: 6 HP Tohatsu outboard motor (going full throttle)
- Total Payload: 600 lbs including passengers and motor.
- Crew: Two passengers sitting and the driver is standing up.
- Water condition: Choppy, and fit only for seaworthy boats
- Accessories: The two seated passengers are riding a standard S4 saddle seat outfitted with a part that makes it 6″ higher, namely 21″ high. This higher saddle seat offers a sitting position that’s more like riding a horse than riding the saddle seat of a personal watercraft (PWC – “jet-ski”).
- Everyone on board is perfectly stable and comfortable, having a great time, and wishing they had a more powerful motor…
- In order to further protect the front passenger from spray generated when the boat smashes into waves, the crew raise the bow by sitting closer to the stern.
