Kinetic Option Jet Surfboard
No waves, no problem. Singapore-based Kinetic Option has a new electric surfboard that allows for surfing without ocean waves or being towed by a boat. The nearly six-foot-long TKO 001 is made from carbon fiber and weighs just under 40 pounds minus the battery. A handheld remote controls speed, and the TKO 001 is pretty fast — top speed is 34 MPH over the water, with 40 minutes of riding per charge. The waterproof remote also shows info like speed and remaining charge so the day doesn't end up with paddling back to shore. Snowboard-style adjustable foot bindings keep feet on the deck for better stability, while a leash cuts power in the event of a rider overboard. Kinetic Option is taking orders now, with deliveries starting in late 2022.
