It's to smack prone surfers on the back of their legs as you zoom past them..

He seems to be using it just to hold the GoPro camera. I'd prefer they don't carry a paddle so that when the short boarders start hating on them for stealing all the waves, we can join in and no longer be the new kid.

I'll wait till the propeller paddle comes out as well, so it'll all go together with the propeller on my hat......


very slick design though.....

Love it or hate it , it's a great design. Early days but I can see this catching on fast especially with the life guards and people who just want to cruise around in the flat.

Surf wise it will just cavitate in the foam , but it could be good to get you to an outer reef break with your short board on the deck. I could use one for filming in the surf.

Something even bigger, heavier and less maneuverable than a SUP. Awesome! Just what we need.

then what anchor it?


paddle or catch a boat or a jetski.


Just what we need another motorised machine crusing through the line up - unable to read waves, sets and conditions. Yes would be good in experienced hands but there is a time that a line needs to be drawn in the sand. So although my line may not mean a lot to some I am drawing mine. This type of craft should be banned from areas where others are operating non powered surfcraft in my opinion.

Maybe an over reaction but lets be real - imagine it in the hands of kook......one of the greatest things about surfing is that when its big it stops people getting out - its almost self regulating. Today was a classic example when after a wave I got caught inside for 4 sets....failed miserably - had to head in, walk back down the beach and make my way out again through the rip. I was caught in that great spot where no matter what paddle pace you have - you are effctively going backwards, as you can not get any traction, so each time a wave comes you have no forward momentum and your duck dive means squat..........with something like the wavejet under me I would have been back out the back in a flash. Joy..........yet what happens when someone who has effectively no idea can crusie through the lineup causing chaos?





yes its a grainy photo but you can see that there was a bit of size today....my phone is crap but a new camera is on the way so there will be no excuses next time. That was taken around 4pm.......it was a whole lot cleaner from early morning until 3.30pm. I am sure that some pics will surface of todays action in the next few days. Love autumn on the east coast!!!!!!

Just the image of this guy out on a crowded line up - what a crack up. I would pay to see that.

you could fang it full blast towards an oncoming wave,

then carve it big on the oncoming wave,

claim the wave and give all the suppers out the back a big spray,

kill the engine, ride the wave.

start the engine head back out, repeat x 100

YYYYYEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
