4. Handcraft the Feet

The feet is the only part of the boat that "touch" the water.

You'll see it is a "curved" surface, rather than a "flat" plate. It is a sceret how it can minimize the friction and maximize the strength. The aluminum tubes that connected with the body using a pair of carbonate fiber poles, not shown here, are the critical parts to withstand the force from the wave. It have to do further strength test to qualify this material.
