# Motorized Wave Riders The Jetsurf Can Reach Speeds of Up to 40 Mph for Serious Maneuvering By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-08-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetsurf References: [blessthisstuff](http://www.blessthisstuff.com/stuff/sports/water-sports/jetsurf/) & [jet-surf](http://www.jet-surf.com) For those that simply can't stay out of the water, the Jetsurf is a revolutionary piece of equipment that will allow surfers to reach speeds of up to 40mph without having to wait for the perfect wave. Crafted from carbon fibre, the Jetsurf features a 100cc engine and an ergonomically designed manoeuvring system that's controlled via the electronic leash affixed to the front, which does double duty as a way to balance. What's more, the electronic leash features an emergency kill feature to cut off power in case of a problem. The Jetsurf offers adventurers the ability to go out further on the water than ever before to catch waves that were previously unreachable. Additionally, it can offer a more accommodating means to get back to shore should fatigue get the best of you. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Motorized Surfing:** The trend towards motorized surfing offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in water sports equipment and recreational vehicles industries. - **Ergonomically Designed Maneuvering:** The trend towards ergonomically designed maneuvering systems offers opportunities for innovation in the design and manufacturing of water sports equipment and automotive industries. - **Electronic Leash Technology:** The trend towards the use of electronic leash technology offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in safety features and power management for the water sports equipment and recreational vehicles industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Water Sports Equipment:** The water sports equipment industry has the opportunity to innovate by incorporating motorization and ergonomic design into their product offerings, such as surfboards and wakeboards - **Recreational Vehicles:** The recreational vehicles industry can benefit from incorporating motorized wave riders into their product lineup for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers. - **Automotive:** The automotive industry has opportunities to develop and improve upon the technology used in motorized wave riders, such as electronic leash and power management systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Carbon Fiber Electric Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-option-tko-001.md) - [Electric Motorized Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thunder-electric-surfboard.md) - [Ruggedized Electric Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruggedized-electric-surfboard.md) - [Wondrously Versatile Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-watercraft.md) - [Sensational Electronic Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetone.md) - [Motorcycle-Inspired Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/searider-searacer.md) - [Modular Electric Surfboard Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclemate-electric-surfboard.md) - [Electric Hydrofoil Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valo-hyperfoil.md) - [High-Speed Underwater Jetpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cudajet.md)
