I was out stand up paddle surfing in Malibu and saw this Icon flying around, aggressively maneuvering, low over the ocean just off the coast near to where I was, think it was Monday... It kept almost landing on the water but didn't land while it was near to where I was.
Man, this plane looks like a ton of fun to fly! It seemed very agile and able to maneuver in an impressive fashion

Sorry had a look but missed it, it was not a crash, so didn't check in Crash Talk

What I am curious about is did anyone grab the tail number. Be nice to know what serial number it was!

There are 5 Icon A5 in the FAA registry, all owned by Icon.

Two of them appears to be prototypes ("A5-POC" and "A5-E"), so maybe there are 3 total A5s?

I saw that too - but the database does lag - so it could be flying on a pink slip... One can hope...
