Some of you guys might have looked at this when the quadski was posted but I thought it looked kinda cool so I'll post it.

There are some videos of them jumping in the surf.

The powered surfboard has been around for decades. Almost as old as the 440.

I remember seeing these way way back in the day when I was young, I always wanted to ride one, but they said they were broke all the time....

I believe it was Zig who lives by the old warehouse and can still get them, not for free though.....

This looks like a new design. Looks like they did a ground up engine desgn too.
Of course they are too proud of their work to put a price on it.

Oh there was a price on it alright. $6995 :haha: . As I was reading through the article I thought, "man that would be pretty sweet. I'd save up for one if they were affordable" but damn you can buy a new SJ for that price. It seems to me that they need to be around the 1500-2000 range or maybe a little bit more. The current one is a 330 cc with plans of a 600cc :bigeyes: I bet that would rip

I swear I saw one of those in Waterworld the movie.

They have been around for a while but I think they have made improvments. Footholds and a more powerful engine.

 

[onesojourner]

does she come with it?

 

[djyox]

The thing I think would be sweet is that jet puller that will pull you around on skis or a wakeboard or what ever, so you can be out when your by yourself... I don't know where the link to it is, but someone here might...

Its got the controls to drive it on the ski handle pole.... It looks like a big honken R/C boat with a flag off the top of it..

I think the featured this model on PWCtv a while back. The engine looks dope. So tiny and its supercharged

 

[waxhead]

yes she does come with it
but it looks like an old photo
you more than likely dont want her now

There is another brand out called the X-Board. I actually talked to them about becoming a dealer when I saw a demo at a boat show. Until they told me the price. It is $6999 for the entry level, then they have a carbon fiber tricked out one for $8999. I told them they will never sell a single unit at that price. I too thought for $2500ish it would be a cool toy, and would have been a dealer in a heartbeat, but not for the price they want. That is insane.

Thats exactly what I thought about this lol. Those wont sell when you can get a jetski for that price.
