The Jetboard The PowerSki Jetboard is a lightweight, easy to ride, single rider, stand-up motorized surfboard. The PowerSki Jetboard utilizes the natural balance of the sideways stance that has catapulted the popularity of surfing, wakeboarding, skateboarding, windsurfing and snowboarding. The final design of the craft and engine were defined and enhanced for high rate production tooling using Parametric Technology Corporations Pro/Engineer software on HP Workstations. The PowerSki Jetboard design puts the center of gravity under the rider's feet, rather than behind or in front of the rider - as is the case with similar sports watercraft. Dual hydrosteps on the bottom of the hull places the pivoting point directly under the rider's feet, enabling high-speed planing and turning. The proprietary hydrostep lifts the craft reducing drag, increasing speeds and fuel efficiency. There were five significant natural forces the engineering team had to deal with; weight, buoyancy, hydrodynamic lift, drag, and thrust. The Igniter 330 combines a high thrust to weight ratio with a hull/rail design and center of gravity placement that stabilizes the craft at all speeds. The design also enables high-speed planing and high thrust "G-Force" turns with simple shifts in weight. PowerSki JetKayak The PowerSki JetKayak is a hydro-dynamically designed craft, utilizing the properties of the PowerSki Jetboard from bottom to interior. The JetKayak is powered by the same powerhouse, die-cast 330cc SuperTorqueXT marine engine. This engages the PowerThruster Jet- pump system. The JetKayak is approximately 11 7 feet long and reaches speeds of up to 30 mph. The JetKayak is controlled by a state-of-the-art dual control system; one controlling right and left and the other controlling throttle speed. The JetKayak also comes equipped with a dry storage compartment and an on-board digital display to provide convenience and functionality.
