Motorised surfboard

Post by Ralph »

After purchasing a Porsche item off of Ebay I browsed the sellers other items and discovered this:

Strangely I keep find myself being drawn back to this listing and keep thinking that it would be a load of fun....

Hairy exercisit Joe Wicks is well into powered surfboards and got me excited about them when listening to something he was on.

I don't think that you want to see me in my speedos!

Now having done a bit of research I didn't realise that there was so many of this type of thing around. Anyway, my son has talked me out of it.

I have had an efoil for a year now, it was a bit challenging to start with, brilliant machine, amazing technology.
