This skimming on the water “thing”

Maybe I missed the boat with this trend (pardon the pun), but what is the go with skimming these bush tires across lakes and rivers?

It appeared to become a trend a few years back and now of late most of the YouTube vloggers are doing it. In one of the videos, the owner of the Kitfox company is showing an aircraft owner how to do it.

From anyone that has done it, is it as insanely dangerous as it looks or do these bush tires repel you off the water if you push the stick too far forward???
