A spidercraft supported by a wave rider pod consisting of very large tires and ground effect wings connected to a suspension system to absorb the shocks from planing over rough seas or rolling over rough terrain. It is a craft which possesses at least one hull or cabin, at least one support arm with a suspension system, and at least one flotation tire. The suspension system with springs and shock absorbers allows the wave rider pod to move in concert with the waves or rough terrain while the cabin of the craft remains relatively stable.
