Ha ha ha ha the little dudes look so gay

Ok.... it looks super gay and I doubt any of us would be seen dead on one.... but....
you have to admit that little asian guy is pulling some sweet powered toeside carves

Hilarious! I love how they have his little heel side carve slow mowed @ 1.37

Must be super hard to turn heelside or something

I remember seeing a Coffs Harbour news report a couple of years back and the local surf club was trailing one of these board things.

I immediately thought of a good rescue craft for those sweat days where the waves are perfect, but the wind is offshore

Are these jetski 2.0?

If you think those are a bit powered up, you may lol at these ... no more paddling







Apparently, you can "break free", and it is "NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT TESTS THE LIMITS OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE ON WATER".

I'm confused if they mean you can do new things, .. or .. if they mean they might be getting a bit carried away with their idea?

Maybe this will get rid of alot of retards from kiteing because you dont have to do anything ???? hopefully

Re: Jet powered surfboards (the origional topic of the post)

Know a local guy who decided to bring these into Oz. Went round every Chandlery/Boat Shop in Perth looking for retailers to carry them. At $14,000 retail he got laughed out of most places. They also are rated as a jetski so using one is considered freestyle ketskiing so there is only a few places you can use it.

He decided he knew better and purchased a 40ft conainer full and proceeded to buy a sailing orientated Chandlery. Move fwd 2 years and he went broke!!

what a joke, they look sh"thouse

30+ years of surfing, I think I've paid my paddling dues, I want a jet powered short board!! Not so much to bludge on the paddle out, but getting into bigger waves earlier.

But, if these things take off, imagine the next generation of surfers who learn on them and don't learn the ocean lessons nor gain the strength and fitness that paddling teaches and gives.

A line up of those guys would be a dangerous place.

If you are old and can't paddle anymore, sure get one.

If you are not prepare to get dropped in on everytime.

Lets face it you will pull out pretty quick not wanting to ding you $14,000 board

the electric guy is aiming to have reatail at $2000 (in other wordscoming to a break near you )
