Stupidly filled with aerodynamic surfaces, this surfboard flies 'swimmingly' at altitudes under 10km. It can also make very quick turns efficiently without losing much velocity, dive into and out of shallow waters, and self corrects to a servile degree.

Made as a submission for the July summer-theme monthly build. Orignal description;

The x0A5 Glider Upsidedonoplan is an aircraft whose design is based on the common water floater which is native to Hawaii, or in the common-tongue, 'surfboard'. This unpropelled glider utilises ground effects over large bodies of water to float its fat 330kg body over a cushion of air. Well, it is supposed to anyways, but due to the absence of ground effects on Droo, it flies swimmingly at any altitude below 10km. The sleek body arrangement allows for a smooth and stable flight, and a manoeuvrability that trumps the f-35's. So efficient, it can change directions at high velocities effortlessly. Of course, being modelled after a surfboard, it is fashioned with the ability to dive into and back out of shallow waters, losing only a fraction of its speed.

The texture and paint is on par with that of A5 wagyu beef. The colour palette ensures that the rider cannot see the board, and that nor can the board cannot be seen, guaranteeing maximum immersion.

Don't worry if you are so unskilled as to lacking the ability to drive straight on a level runway; this aircraft is so self-correcting, you won't have any control over it!

Launcher not included. Must be launched from a plane.
