Jet-propelled, planet-friendly surfboard from JetSurf

Feast your eyes on a super-surfboard that can burst through barrels on its own power, skim flat water at speeds up to 35 mph, and propel its rider to new heights on chop and surf. With a 17 hp, 100 cc gas-powered water-jet engine, the JetSurf Factory GP 100 does all the above and more. The board is not just fast, but also light, weighing in at 30 pounds and made of ultra-light carbon fiber and Kevlar. Its ability to be checked as personal luggage on a plane makes it fairly unique among motorized watercraft. What’s more , it’s built for the new age eco-conscious surfer: with a two-stroke engine designed by MSR Engines, it’s low emissions—about 210 grams of CO2 per hour at top speed—make it one smart board. To reach its goal of a zero carbon footprint, JetSurf also plants a tree for each board purchased.
