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
