Excellent comparison (wave powered boats)
Surfing? I'm not sure about the need for swept wings either. The upside is same wing area with less frontal exposure. Also aftward displacement of shock wave in trans sonic ops (sic). Downside hellish stall speed and low speed handling. No more Super Cub Launches!
