It's like a SUP with a motor, stability looks to be an issue I thought he was going to go down on one of the corners

The laws of physics would dictate that you need to lower your center of gravity. Might want to carry several
containers of SSG splitshot in your pockets! IMHO, a better design would allow the platform to slide back so as to
be used for a seat.
Best,

Good starting idea, but it needs refinement. Imagine if you all of a sudden had to change direction because of a log or a gator. Standing up you would be swimming in a matter of seconds. I did not see a kill switch attached to him so the boat would keep running. A seat would make a world of difference, especially for folks that don't have great balance or just can't stand for that long. As of now it looks a little dangerous.

I can see it now, you swerve to avoid that big gator, you fall in and start swimming as fast as possible to get back to the boat if possible. You are now the ultimate "attractor pattern" for that big gator.
I'll pass on that one.
