1. What does it look like out of the water?

It there a prop? What makes it go?

2. Freeze it at second :05

There doesn't appear to be a prop, just a wing-shaped foil.

The future of paddleboarding? Champion boarder uses hydro foil to FLOAT over the waves

Stand-up paddleboarding champion Kai Lenny has thrown a knarly wave into the paddleboarding world with his new video showing him skimming a few feet over the ocean with a hydrofoil underneath his paddleboard.

Lenny, a six-time SUP world champion, makes the contraption look incredibly easy as he grazes over the ocean, seemingly levitating over the waves.
