The Xth International Waterbike Regatta took place 1989 in Hamburg. The venue was the lake of the city park (Stadtparksee).
The first human-powered hydrofoiler for two persons takes off for the first time in this movie.
The original soundtrack included a lot of "borrowed" music. Replacement music has been edited in to make it possible to publish the movie.
