Quite expensive and still in development, may or may not ever come to market.

I'd wanna see the real world reviews about how it handles real wind ... wearing floaties is going to increase the wind interference..?

According to indiegogo.com, the drone has achieved production status and is expected to be delivered by December.

But honestly, why would you invest in a product that lacks reviews and firsthand experiences, especially when it has numerous flaws from the start?

- It doesn't have obstacle avoidance sensors, which means it could crash into anything nearby.
- There's no return to home (RTH) feature, making it difficult to safely land the drone on land , if you launched it from the water and are constantly on the move.
- The maximum flight time is 23 minutes under ideal conditions, which translates to about 15 minutes in real-world scenarios.
- What happens if the battery drains quickly and the drone lands automatically, unable to reach you/your beacon?
- While it has a waterproof body and sealed internal electronics, there's no mention of its resistance to saltwater or long-term durability.
- The cost is $299 for a care refresh or free replacement in case of damage.

My other thought - having flown RC helicopters that are actually difficult lol - is the floaties means the structure and therefore CoG is above the props. this means there is no self-righting .. Rather, having the CoG above the props means it is naturally trying to roll in gusts. A normal drone with weight lower, is somewhat self-righting. Thus, it's using a lot of power to stabilise itself all the time. May be wrong. but it just looks real hard to make it stable for any floating drone?

Impressive

I’ve tested this drone. It is completely useless for speed windsurfing.
This drone is far too light—250 grams—and cannot keep up with you at speeds above 30 km/h.

Speed windsurfing - Probably not the use case of this drone.

I was hoping this was really good but it's not . The actual 12min flight time and the fact it's really hard land on the water , it hovers around 1.5m as the swell keeps changing it's landing height , You basically need to be on a Sup to grab it out of the air otherwise you have to go back to the beach to land & change the batteries plus plenty of complaints re the frame breaking . For the money just not worth it, Don't know why DJI just don't do a waterproof beacon . They actually released one to their testers last year for the Air , I guess it didn't go too well but surely, they have the technology.
