High Tech Fin Lets You Leap Like a Dolphin

by Terrence O'Brien on August 20, 2008 at 09:01 AM

We're sure that at least some of you have dreams of swimming like a fish, kicking a giant fin, hitting inhuman top speeds, and breaching the surface of the water only to dive back in like a dolphin. And now, for the absurd price of $1,250 (at a minimum), you can.

The Lunocet is a fin-like hydrofoil that attaches to your feet and flexes as you kick your legs (in unison), generating lift and pushing you twice as fast as even an Olympic swimmer like Michael Phelps can move. The manufacturer claims you can even build up enough speed in top gear to leap out of the water dolphin style.

Now all you have to do is learn to talk to the fish and you can become a real life Aquaman. Though if we were you, we'd choose a cooler superhero to emulate. [From: Wired]
