Are you looking for a new fun toy? Here is a pretty sweet concept! Check this out… After boats, cars, and jet skis, the Hison Jet Surfboard could be your next big thing.
Seriously, think about it. From the time we’re teenager to retirement, a lot of us love the surf; we just need to be around water, preferably in a motorized machine, and even more fun, fast machine. Now, if you know me – and a lot of you do – you know that I’ve loved cars throughout my life, and still do.
Guys like me seem to love horsepower; the speed, the sound of the motor. Jet-powered surfing combines two loves in one form without the hassle, expense, and inconvenience of a larger vessel. You can still strap one of these to the rack on your car and head for the ocean. Drop this bad boy into the waves without needing a boat launch.
This concept has me tempted to try surfing.
Let’s look at this cool invention more closely. One of the first ones out there is the Hison Jet Ski (or surfboard – whatever you want to call it), which you see illustrated here to the left (click here or on the image to go to the product page for more info).
Speed over the Surf
Surfboarders move very quickly over the waves when they get going, but there is that lull they have to endure while waiting for a big wave to take them up. Watch videos of jet boarders (there’s one just below showing you the new extreme sport involving these boards) These athletes don’t wait for a wave but stand up on their boards and turn on a small engine to gain speed and master the water instead of letting it master them. Activity is almost instant.

Obviously I’m exaggerating a little bit. Mother Nature’s oceans will always be masterful and remain dangerous and unpredictable places to experiment with any kind of man-made contraption, large or small. Even a boat can be knocked over, and a jet boarder is just as vulnerable, especially if he becomes cocky. The advantage to a motorized version of the surfboard, however, is the additional control a rider has to get out of a situation without relying on his arms to paddle him and he can operate his device effectively closer to the shore. Here’s the vid of jet boards being used in Hawaii (the article continues below):
Motorized Method
A powered surfboard is controlled using a tall stick which connects to an engine. The 25-horsepower, 4-stroke engine like you see on the Hison Jet Surfboard means we
