That's awesome.

Edit: Even if faked they did a good job of it, hard to see any trickery unless they did the old put a piece of plywood just beneath the waters surface thing.

Why walk when you can drive?

I don't buy that.

It's gotta be fake.

It's fake. Just put a board underwater and, from the side, the waters reflection would completely cover up the board.

How wealthy and bored do you have to be to put so much time and money into something like this?

I really, really, really hope this turns out to be real. It would be so freakin' fun to do this at the lakes and stuff instead of sitting around skipping rocks.

Didn't Jesus supposedly walk on water? not once did I see see one of these guys even try to "walk"!

May I be the first to burst the bubble? Nobody and I mean nobody can "walk" on water...including our wonderful buddy Jesus Christ Superstar.

Looks to me like you can see it at 1:56. I would love to see the people who think this is real actually trying it.

This is a viral marketing ad for Hi-Tec (the shoes). You can see the brand everywhere in this video on their clothes like the jackets, etc.

This is probably faked like the Cars "Magic" music video I posted. A sheet of plexi under the water.
