# Stingray Jetski Attacking the Water With the Eco-Activist ‘Creature Guard' By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-08-18 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creature-guard References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2009/08/oh-why-not-half.php?p=4&cat=undefined#more) As far as [water-mobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otter-bike-explorer) go (aside from boats) the Creature Guard might just be the most uniquely designed piece of machinery that I’ve ever seen. Designed by Nils Poschwatta, the stingray-inspired Creature Guard is a current-crossing animal activist. Poschwatta has said the design is “an institution to protect [endangered animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roboturtle) and any kind of organism that needs help.” I would hope to see the water-ranger gracing the seas, but as for now, these [clay sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marine-ecosystem-sculptures) of the beast will have to suffice. Check out how awesome this bad boy looks! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-activist Water-mobiles:** The Stingray Jetski is a disruptive innovation opportunity in the eco-activist space, providing a unique and visually striking design to raise awareness for endangered animals and organisms. - **Endangered Species Protection:** The Creature Guard concept presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for organizations and industries focused on protecting and preserving endangered animals and organisms. - **Sustainable Water Transportation:** The Stingray Jetski represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the water transportation industry, combining a sleek design inspired by nature with a focus on eco-friendly practices. ### Where This Applies - **Eco-tourism:** The Stingray Jetski offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for the eco-tourism industry, providing a unique and visually appealing experience for nature enthusiasts. - **Marine Conservation:** The Creature Guard concept presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the marine conservation industry, offering a novel approach to protecting and preserving endangered species. - **Recreational Watercraft:** The Stingray Jetski presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the recreational watercraft industry, appealing to consumers who prioritize sustainability and unique design features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personal Aquatic Scooter Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-scooter-concept.md) - [Wondrously Versatile Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-watercraft.md) - [All-Electric Personal Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allelectric-personal-watercraft.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermarine-mm01.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Water Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maverick-gt-stormy-knight.md) - [Aquatic Shark-Inspired Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterborne-drone.md) - [Multifunctional Four-Seater Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-crosswave-waverunner.md) - [Hydrodynamic Avian-Inspired Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wakinyan-catamaran-yacht.md) - [Water-Ready Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-above-and-under.md)
