"I must say that kind of hydrofoil sailing was absolutely fantastic... These boats are clearly at the forefront of modern sailing"
Goran Petersson, ISAF President

"We have been blown away by the popularity of the two PUMA branded Bladerider Moths that we are using to support our entry to the Volvo Ocean Race. Their ability to engage all visitors to the Race Village, both sailors and non-sailors, is exactly in line with our strategy to raise the profile and excitement of sailing."
Daniel Miles, Group Head of Marketing - Sailing, PUMA.

"Recently I have sailed the Moth and I discovered a new meaning in sailing. The combination of balance, speed and the skill that requires is unique. When 'silent foiling' comes, you become a part with the wind. It's an experience that everyone has to taste. It's spectacular, media friendly and that's guaranties Olympic success"
Andreas Kosmatopoulos, Greece, 470 World Champion & 5 times Olympian

"I have been sailing about 10 times now, starting to slowly get it, having heaps of fun! It is a fantastic thing you have created, you should be very proud. All the best!"
Jonathan McKee, USA, Olympic, AC & VOR sailor

"The Bladerider was such a thrilling experience; like one I have never experienced before...foiling and going such high speeds is something I look forward to experience again once the Olympics are over!!"
Anna Tunnicliffe, Miami, USA, 2008 Olympic Laser Radial Gold Medalist

"Congrats on an amazing product and thanks for getting me on the water and tuned up"
Kevin Hall, Auckland, New Zealand, Team New Zealand member

"I'm since a few weeks a proud owner of a Bladerider, bought the boat via Kalle Coster. It is truly an amazing boat!"
Eelco Boers, Holland

"Last Friday I did make 21 knots - not to bad for a beginner! :-)"
Nikolaus Liebscher, Vienna, Austria

"I just had an amazing test of Bladerider in La Rochelle (with Eric Proust) for the first French sailing magazine Voiles et Voiliers. Anyway I flew in a 13 knots wind and it's just definitely fun!"
Manon BORSI, France

"Even it was my first time, I got foiling in 1 minute. partly because I had watched about 10 people before me making all the mistakes. The feeling was unreal when foiling."
Janne Uusi-Autti, Finland

"It was such an exhilerating experience for me because man has wanted to fly for so long and for a sailor to experience his passion for sailing while flying is the best of both worlds. The Bladerider is a challenge I look forward to mastering and carrying the new skills I learn to other boats."
Brad Funk, Miami, USA

"I tried the boat today - and what a difference it was! Compared to the old one it is more or less self-sailing! Rohan was right - its another game. Outstanding... Super job, well done! I am a happy camper...."
Per Eskilson, Sweden

"Yesterday there was more wind than on Friday (about 2-4 BF) and was really good to sail. When the boat is on foils, it is very stable and easy to sail. Feels very good!"
Lukas Schenck, Switzerland
