half of me thinks that its a hoax.
If you lok at the video right at the end carefully, you can see it almost looks like hes running on a scaffold board under water.

Imagine the laugh they would be having for getting 1m hits on you tube and every other idiot trying to "Walk on Water"!!?!

Looks like a hoax to me. But...

Many moons ago I had a go at bare foot skiing.

1st attemps were at 25mph, and that was a bit slow but managed about 100feet.

So with big feet running at say 20mpg could it be possible

If it does not work just run on Custard

I think there's a submerged wall there. They all run the same line. All the "waterproof shoes, jet ski, run in a curve" are just a smoke screen.

When I went rafting in West Virginia there was a rock in the river that was about 18" wide and 30 feet long and sat just below the surface in the middle of the river. It's shape and alignment left no eddy. If you walked along it, guess what? You appeared to walk on water.

been done before, about 2010 years ago, a bloke called jesus if i remember correctly

The rock I mentioned is known as Jesus rock. Named after a Mexican who found it I think.

Its a viral marketing plug from HI TEC.
firstly Very well filmed and edited
secondly the blue hat the guy has has Hitec
thirdly lots of shots of shoes all one brand

Very clever marketing. And yes I spend way to much time online.....but as I work in the net provider business its ok to sample the product.

Pete,
No, it wonīt, Jesus lizzard moves a lot faster, weighs a lot less and the relationship between weight and feet size is a lot smaller.
That doesnīt change my boycott, and as stated above by Mango, I think itīs a clever way of advertising.

Adithorp,
I didnīt know about this rock or its mexican discoverer.
