Volunteers helped with the project. Sowa will continue to make improvements to the Island, so it will always be a work of art in progress.Spiral Island has been featured in a number of newspapers and TV documentaries around the world, including in Japan and South Korea, and has been featured in an episode of the Ripley's Believe It or Not!

not just yet in the future id like to go several months from now
i would soooo love that
Ask everyone on this site to sponsor you 5 each ($8.39 each) to fund the airfare for this project so you can go see him and help
what hes envisioning is creating and controlling a thermal (which is what i ride in a glider (well not recently unfortunately )) and using the wave motion under him but those sails in the thermal could lift it out of the water cause he would need pretty big sails to move an island and the way he was describing it he would be using the thermal to move it
that would also be lifting it...
it would need to be a strong thermal and very strong sails...(not made of trash)
i think he can get that island to fly
