The Lampuga Air electric Surfboard

Lampuga, a brand of Hamburg-based Sashay GmbH and the maker of one of the world's fastest electric surfboards, now makes it easier to get out onto the water and motor your way to fast-paced thrills. The Lampuga Air is an inflatable jet-drive surfboard designed to pack small and ride fast. A modular design lets you swap the jet drive between four different hull styles – from the standard 6.5-foot (2-m) surfboard to a short, lie-atop body board. While the Air still isn't priced for the masses, it does lower the cost of buy-in when compared to Lampuga's rigid models.
Since an electric jet drive with its motor, battery pack and other components is no small, collapsible piece of hardware, Lampuga builds the Air drive into a separate module, which secures to the hull on the beach and removes during transport. The jet drive has a 15-hp motor, and Lampuga estimates it'll provide 40 minutes of fun before the lithium battery needs a recharge, which takes between one and two hours.

Lampuga lists the Air's top speed at 29 mph (47 km/h). That means the 71-lb (32-kg) inflatable is only 5 mph (8 km/h) slower than the rigid models, which Lampuga has declared the world's fastest electric jet surfboards. It's also 11 lb (5 kg) lighter. The rider drives the Air with a wireless handheld controller.
