Kymera Bodyboard

"I really wanted to create a personal watercraft that had all the fun and none of the hassle of jet skis or boats," Woods told Gizmag. "My specific goals were that it would have to easily fit in or on a compact car, it would have to be safe, it must be easily hand carried and launched anywhere and it had to be able to run all day. My inspiration though, really came from watching people at the lake awkwardly wading at the waters edge while the privileged few were out on the water."

This is a test run of one of the early prototypes (the first not to sink) with 6hp and weighing only 28lbs it has plenty of power but the jetpump was undersized.

Hoping to have this out to retailer in the next year at a price around that of a gas scooter.

Thank you all for your support!
