16 MAY 2011 Catching your first wave is an experience few can put into words – with the water rushing beneath your feet carrying you to the shore, it’s something you’ll never forget. WaveJet is the newest contraption to hit the surf, and is sure to create ripples in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
A patented Personal Water Propulsion (PWP), WaveJet is a glorified water ride, turning the average surfboard, kayak and kite board into a hyper-active, man powered machine. Run by a twin-lithium ionbattery pack, the WaveJet can make paddling easy and that first wave a breeze. With this kind of kick, surfers won’t need to work on their upper arm strength – the WaveJet offers riders about three times the thrusting power of a normal paddle, making catching and riding waves an afternoon joy ride.

The only kicker is that the WaveJet is priced a little higher than a normal surfboard, around $4500, and can run for about 30 minutes (charging to anyone’s wall socket in between rides). While it’s more than just your average surfboard, things are sure to heat up in the surfing world. With bigger waves out across all coasts, the WaveJet has been getting attention for its sleek frame and jet powered interior.
Sure, it’s best to still put the full effort into your training, but with the WaveJet it’s easy to see why professionals love riding the big ones. If you’ve got a bit of the daredevil inside you, and you’re raring to check out the latest contraption in surfing, the WaveJet is guaranteed to be a good time.
