Motorized surfboard is designed to catch the big waves

In order to harness the huge wall of salt water, known as the "big wave", the brave surfers usually have to resort to personal assistance towing vessels. What are some problems, that is, they are forced to pull his friend back and forth all day. A WaveJet gives you all the necessary features, and you can do without transportation.

WaveJet - it is a private water towing device which is equipped with a small motor on the blade board. Unlike JetBoard (DzhetBoat), which uses a motor to move the rod, WaveJet a different approach to raising a wave. It allows you to rise four times faster.
The module is designed WaveJet sleek and fast and is mounted on a variety of devices such as surfboards and boogie padlborda, as well as rescue boards. The module is located below the board, so it does not interfere with your skating. The use of two aluminum wheels enables a push to nine pounds and the speed of 19.3 km / h

Operation is controlled by a remote control, which is attached to the wrist. This method of control leaves the hands free surfer and do not tie it to the board. Bracelet also features a battery level and adjusts the engine, to disable it, if a surfer turned away from the board. Rechargeable Lithium batteries provide 30-45 minutes of working time, but as the device is not used continuously, it provides a longer residence time in the water.
Inventor WaveJet Mike Riley (Mike Railey) - a lover of tow surfing. Since then, the first time I ride in the late '90s, but he did not like the situation with the use of transport for this, since it harry and the surfer and the crew of the ship.

The existing boards were heavy and the motor nemanevrennymi, so he began tinkering lightweight and compact. Thus was born the module WaveJet. After receiving several patents for invention, Riley WaveJet introduced last year on public display. Surfers, lifeguards and other professionals in the industry tested product, and the first board will be on sale next month. The WaveJet module is shown in surfboards, boogie boards and standing padlborda.
