It does look a bit like that hydrofoil boat that split in two in whatever the old Bond film was (Thunderball?). Do you need a white cat to sail it?

Why would you want foiling for the masses when as I understand it the masses sail on restricted waters? Or by the masses you mean only of moderate skills, I still fail to see any value. It could be similar to novices getting Cats because they are less tippy and that never ends well.

I thought DSS was designed for righting rather than foiling. Don't see it working as a foiler in waves.

What is the point of this ?
The foil is pretty huge so why do you need to have an inflatable board ? A normal kite board is hardly big ? |

That Brunetti device just looks like something to make tea bagging even more pointless than it already is
 I was referring to the OP's vid in my last post BTW
