Is this for real?

Must be some kind of hoax surely?

Walking on water is now a sport called liquid mountaineering. If you want to try it yourself, slip into a wetsuit, grab some water repellent shoes, and head to a lake. Continue reading for an interesting demonstration.

It is for real dude - even Jesus used to do it so it must be real.

Jesus was way ahead of his time - I wonder how he did it without water repellent shoes.

Nope, it's a viral advert for hi-tech.

Is this like Richard Hammond on that engineering links program?

Liquid Mountaineering! Mwhaa haa haa

I LOLed.

I LOL. These people must have been reading too many Ninja Manga. They might as well do the standing on water like Naruto

Notice they only run in a curve.. they are being suspended by a crane or something, and then when they are about to stop someone unhooks them.

Bleh, chinese martial artists have been running on water and flying around for years in nothing more than cloth sandals.

Azza · 14 May 2010 at 13:16

Yeah it is real.

Jesus used to own a pair of brown Hi-Tech Water Walker Sandals!!

Hah, I've just seen this video, well made

D.Roberts · 16 May 2010 at 23:18

No it is real

GreatAuk · 16 May 2010 at 23:36

I've often imagined 'what if I ran really fast and moved my feet in the right way, could I run on water like that cool lizard thing?'... and now I have an answer! I'm off to the swimming pool, see you later!

BigglesPiP · 16 May 2010 at 23:43

LOL, I grew up living on the shore of Windermere, trust my failed 8 year old dreams, you cannot run on water. You equally can't get your bike to fly by strapping a plank of wood to the handlebars.

It's an advert for the shoes, look at how the guy runs in a circle, he's suspended from a crane.
