I would like to thank all persons who developed and participate with the Tahoe Benchmark each year . I hope next year to enter the trials with a competitive DPV . I think a obstacle course would be a prudent addition to the event as handling performance is over all a priority . The endurance run at full power with rest stops does seem odd because it would hide any motor or electrical overheating problems if they do exist . The use of swim fins does not seem to be a safety issue if were eliminated and to avoid any unfair advantage .
Disappointing, I thought they where holding it up to add the Magnus. Glad the Cudya is still #1:mooner:

I was not aware swim fins are necessary to steer a technical DPV . I assumed it would steer as easily as the one built by myself . Yes a slow scissor kick will increase your speed noticeable at 2.5 + mph . My idea with a obstacle course would surely fit in the real world use as one would maneuver around objects and make 90 and 180 degree turns
