Lesson plan
Jetboard
A jetboard is a motorized surfboard, where the rider controls the speed using a handheld remote control (wireless or tethered) and uses bodyweight transfer to maneuver the board. The driveline typically consists of a water jet module (similar to what is found in a personal watercraft), and either a combustion engine or a battery powered electrical motor. Serving as an alternative to standard surfboards, the jetboard also allows disabled athletes to engage in the sport.
