im 90% sure it is, water doesnt sustain human weight because our feet are so small. their arguments of using water repelling shoes are dumb because the force on the water tension (which break it) is the same, and running in a banked curve to maximise contact with the surface tension also doesnt sell it to me.
anyway
what do you think?

I only watched the first video, it's fake as f*ck. Notice that they all fall in at the same point and that they all follow the same path, there is a board or some shit just below the surface.

Off hand I would say it was fake. I don't think you can run enough to make it happen. You are talking about initial impacts of an object on a body of water. Technically speaking, hitting a body of water is no different from hitting a body of concrete.
Golf balls, for example, are heavier than water. But like rocks if they hit the water just right they skip right off the surface.
Using this technique to actually gain momentum, however, seems to be not viable.
