Jet-Powered Surfboard
Surf's up? Surf's revved up more like. Cool though the idea of a jet-powered surfboard is, we can't help but wonder if it's a bit... cheaty? Forget all that guff about catching the right wave - with this gizmo, you just have to flick a switch and hunker down. Even less gnarly for purists is the fact that you can use it in swimming pools. Pah. It's powered by rechargeable batteries - you get 45 minutes off one charge - and comes in single or dual-propellor models. Its top-speed is 4km/h, although that compares poorly to, say, a Great White shark's 24km/h. Not to worry you.

Pah! My cousins own a surfboard with a proper (i.e. petrol driven) waterjet engine. Forget all this talk about it being 'cheating'; it's nign-on impossible to keep upright on, and a fault in the electrics just added to the fun by giving the rider mild electric shocks at regular intervals.
