A DAY ON THE LAKE

A day on the lake is a time for swimming, hydrofoiling & smiling!

A day on the lake sounds simple — a leisurely swim, maybe a boat ride or a lazy afternoon in the shade. But a day on the lake, with Grant Korgan, is an intricately orchestrated gathering that requires a hydrofoil.

A hydrofoil is similar to a sit-down waterski. The hydrofoil was first developed in the late 1980s, and is a variation of waterskiing. When towed at speed, by a powerful boat, the board of the hydrofoil flies above the water surface! The ride is smooth and unaffected by the wake or chop of the water, which makes it relatively smooth!
