BSRsays...Can someone Google the physics on how this works? Thanks in advance.
newtboysays...Just like wakeboarding but under water.

BSRsays...In my best Emily Litella voice: Wasn't wakeboarding ruled as torture and unconstitutional for marine life?
Thanks presently.

lucky760says...This is so awesome. Dolphins are great.
Must show my boys this.
surfingytsays...This made me so happy!
Paybacksays...Haven't Googled anything, but I think it's like ground effect in airplanes and helicopters. The dolphin is pushing against a horizontal "column" of water the ship is pushing in front of it. Allows it to move along with little effort.
I would think that, to the dolphin, it feels like how a dog does with it's head out a car window. All the benefits of moving fast, with almost none of the effort.

BSRsays...So what you're saying is, the Dolphin is basically surfing without a surfboard on an underwater wave created at the bow of the boat.
I can live with that.

KrazyKat42says...It's almost like he's dancing to music that we can never hear.
lucky760says...To follow up, I did show this to my boys and there were totally unimpressed, just asking when the good part was going to start.
Kids!
