The BirdyFish, a French foiling monohull dinghy, is tested on the water at Moss, Norway, by Magne Klam and Bo Berntsen, who imported the boats for Moss Seilforening. The larger model — sailable by two adults or three children — lifts onto its foils at around 5 meters per second (roughly 10 knots) of wind, with 5–8 m/s described as the sweet spot.0:34 During the session, conditions ranged from 6 to 12 knots; the boat reached 34 km/h (about 20 knots).0:18 It carries a jib and a Code Zero for lighter air; the Code Zero delivered noticeably more power when deployed.1:14 Foil arms extend on both sides, making dock landings awkward — a sandy beach is easier.3:53 The larger model is priced just under 300,000 NOK; a smaller, 30 kg high-tech version costs approximately 150,000 NOK.5:09 The design goal is recreational foiling accessible to beginners, positioned alongside wingfoiling and kiteboarding rather than racing.4:08 Crew noted the boat is stable and easy compared to performance foilers, though consistent flight still requires practice.3:25
