Fighting density altitude taking off from Lake Powell in the ICON A5

At 9am the density altitude on Lake Powell was 6000 feet, which meant a looooong takeoff run.
This clip is from my Fly Casual adventure. Check out my website for more details!

These things don't seem to like taking off too much.

Part airplane, part boat. Wow. This really emphasized that.

Hey! Post some more Lake Powell vids! Great!

[@kpchannel5419]

Lake Powell is a bit over 1000 meters in altitude how could the A5 get off Lake Tahoe on a hot day?

The ol Tijuana 2 Step needs extreme caution,
1.) Pilot needs to drain the floatation before take off.
2.) Can anyone say turbo for an overweight aircraft.
3.) a little over a 100 built and 3 have went down. a turbo is a life saver in that boat.

I want one of these but they seem underpowered in almost every video I have seen.
