Amazing torpedo speedboat can catapult you across the waves

Incredible footage has revealed the breathtaking stunts possible in the Seabreacher, a personal torpedo speed boat made out of old fighter jet parts. The vehicles - which come styled as sharks, killer whales or dolphins - can leap waves in a single bound and carry two passengers underwater. Prices for the watercraft, which are a combination of jet-ski, racing boat and submarine, vary from around $80,000 to top-of-the-range models costing upwards of $100,000 .

The Seabreacher operates more like an aircraft with full three axis of control - pitch, roll, and yaw.  This allows the vessel to carve left and right, jump over, dive under, and cut though the waves. 

It can stay two feet (0.5 metres) below the surface of the water for around 20 seconds at a time.  Then, with a yank backwards on the controls, it can breach the surface with a stunning leap, shooting up to 12 feet (3.5 metres) above the waves.
