Sea-Doo Just Patented a Hydrofoil PWC, and That's Wild

There's a ton of innovation going on right now with the PWC market. From purpose-built, from-the-factory angling platforms, to hot-shot, go-fast super PWCs ala road-going superbikes, and even some all-electric joints, there's something for everyone. And advancements are going at breakneck speeds, both to keep up with competitors and customer demands. 

But this patent that RideApart discovered from Sea-Doo has us scratching our heads, as we wonder, "Who's asking for a PWC hydrofoil? And what are they going to use it for?" 

Yet, that's exactly the patent we found while scrolling the US Patent Office's pages, and the concept, as shown in the drawings delivered by the company, are even wilder than your imagination will likely allow. Honestly, it looks like something out of Star Wars or some other sci-fi world conjured up by a nerd in their mother's basement. And that's sorta cool in my eyes.
