Yeah, I think the SAB 1550 is 5 feet wide ?. And a lot of people really like it.

The Aquaskipper was truly ahead of its time. Notice the high AR of the wing. Plus turning was easy. It never occurred to me to try it on downwinders. Too bad I sold it on ebay.

Just spotted this. If watch it a while you will see a person on a very small board pumping with a handle set up. Looking like a modern version of the Aquaskipper.
