Surfing without waves

If you haven't noticed it, we are not in Hawaii. And though, surfing is relatively popular activity in Northwest, it's not entirely enjoyed even by surfing enthusiasts here : cold weather, long drive to the coast, and most importantly - unpredictable swell, doesn't make it the most popular NW outdoor activity.

Well, now you don't have to rely on the ocean and waves ! You can take this "surfboard " on Lake Union, Lake Washington or anywhere else !


JetBoard is a "surfboard " with an ingenuously small and flat 45 horsepower motor capable of propelling the board to 40 mph. With the rear thrust, rail and the three fins beneath, the JetBoard carves better than anything else on water, tarmac or snow, generating G-forces up to 6G and enabling the rider to get almost horizontal. The JetBoard never cavitates or slides out, enabling a standing rider to perform continuous, stable, high speed turns with slight shifts in weight.
With incredible manoeuvrability and immense power, the JetBoard is not just applicable to flat water - it has the speed to use waves in both directions - from getting massive air off small to moderate surf, all the way up to positioning yourself anywhere you want on the wall of monster reef surf.

I think that so far, JetBoard is one of the most radical water toys ever invented...and I want one ! It looks like a lot of fun :

Great information as always! Love thinking about the adventure though not able to actually do what you talk about. It is fun to dream. Great job!

I am glad you liked it ! And you are right , it feel good to think and dream about adventures. But all our dreams, wishes , goals, desires, all this can happen if you take actions ! Why do you think you can't do it ? What stops you ?
