Jetsurf

Created and designed by Martin Sula, a Formula 1 engineer from the Czech Republic, Jetsurf  is a jet propelled surfboard; it is a cross between a surf board and a jet-ski and is capable of speeds up to 40mph(58km/h) and has a range of up to 45 miles(75km) or 1.5 hours on a full tank. The carbon fibre craft is packed with a two-stroke 100cc engine and a miniature water jet. An electronic leash which is attached to the surfers wrist acts as both a throttle and an emergency kill-cord. watch the video of this new craze amongst watersports enthusiasts.
