Hydrofoil Kayak - Flyak - Human Powered Hydrofoil
A hydrofoil kayak is a type of kayak equipped with hydrofoils, which are wing-like structures mounted on struts below the hull. These hydrofoils lift the kayak above the water as it gains speed, significantly reducing water resistance.
Flyak - Wikipedia
The Flyak is a hydrofoil adaptation to the conventional kayak. It uses twin hydrofoils designed to raise the hull out of the water to increase the speed. Speeds of up to 27.2 km/h (7.6 m·s −1 , 16.9 mph) can be achieved on calm water.
The Flyak – A Flying Kayak - Inflatable Kayak World
The Flyak has two hydrofoil fins below the surface of the water to create lift. At high speeds the entire hull is lifted 15 cm (5.9 in) from the water, reducing the drag and allowing greater speeds – reportedly more than twice the speed of a conventional kayak.

Basics - Human Powered Hydrofoil
Recently the flyak showed that you also can use paddles to power a hydrofoil based on a kayak. But probably the most interesting way to power a hydrofoil is by Flapping Wing Propulsion. This kind of propulsion is the only one which is unique to human powered hydrofoils.
Human Powered Transportation - hydrofoils - Princeton University
The Hydro-ped shown, a kayak hull that has been modified by the addition of hydrofoils, achieves this end. The slender hull provides good low-speed performance and permits the shaft driven propeller to take the boat to a speed at which it can 'fly' on the foils.
