Meet WaveJet

Simply put, WaveJet is a surfboard device that is powered by a water propulsion system integrated in an electric motor that works with a battery. With this device, you can surf at least three times faster with an average speed of 12 mph (19.3 km/h) that can be aggravated with the combination of paddling and using your arms to push.

How It Works

With the help of an attached bracelet, the propulsion system can be turned on or off according to your desire. A mini jet drive of sorts, it makes use of a set of two aluminum impellers that are lightweight and produce thrust of about 20 lbs. The surfboard can be ridden all day, and only takes 7 hours for a full recharge. In addition, the surfboard can be used with bodyboards, surfboards or even paddleboards.

Surf Away!

Big waves are always a sort of challenge, and the surfers brave enough to surf them usually need the help of a PWC (personal watercraft) to be towed in, which can be quite inconvenient. This is where WaveJet comes in, letting you propel right to the mouth of that huge wall of saltwater on your own.

Personal Water Propulsion

WaveJet simply aims to add considerable power to the paddling aspect of surfing, and can thus be a personal water propulsion device. You can paddle super fast when you enable the motor, which is a small pod that fits perfectly in the back of your board. The device can be purchased here for US $2,500.
