# Electric Boogie Boards The Powered Body Board by Kevin Doherty is More Adventurous By Meghan Young | Published 2012-10-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powered-body-board References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2012/10/27/powered-body-board/) & [designicon.hk](http://www.designicon.com.hk/) While all some people might need is a good wave to help skim their boogie board across the water, others desire something a little stronger like the Powered Body Board. It is a motorized version that acts like a scooter for the sea. Going with the current or against, the Powered Body Board will allows people to enjoy the ocean in ways that they haven't been able to do on a traditional boogie board. Designed by Kevin Doherty of [Design Icon Ltd.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-next-agency), the Powered Body Board is operated by both a rechargeable battery and energy derived from solar panels outfitted on its surface. Sleek and simple, it is a great alternative to large sea-doos. Not to mention that it is eco-friendly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Motorized Boogie Boards:** The trend of motorizing boogie boards allows for new and exciting ways to experience the ocean. - **Electric Transportation:** The rise of electric-powered recreational vehicles like the Powered Body Board opens up opportunities for the development of new eco-friendly transportation options. - **Solar-powered Leisure Equipment:** The integration of solar panels into recreational gear, such as the Powered Body Board, showcases the potential for sustainable energy use in various industries. ### Where This Applies - **Recreational Equipment:** The motorized boogie board trend presents opportunities for companies in the recreational equipment industry to develop innovative and electrified water sports products. - **Green Technology:** The electric boogie board industry represents a segment of the green technology sector that focuses on sustainable transport and recreational solutions. - **Outdoor Sports and Adventure:** The adoption of motorized boogie boards and solar-powered leisure equipment offers the outdoor sports and adventure industry the chance to enhance and diversify their product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Electric Surfer Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scubajet-hybridboard.md) - [Electric Motorized Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thunder-electric-surfboard.md) - [Electric Performance Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hydrofoil-board.md) - [All-Electric Hydrofoil Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seadoo-rise.md) - [Modular Electric Surfboard Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclemate-electric-surfboard.md) - [Sleek Electric Paddleboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esup.md) - [Powered Hyper-Speed Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xsport-jetboard.md) - [Ruggedized Electric Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruggedized-electric-surfboard.md) - [Modern Electric Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-surfboard1.md)
