A new type of surfboard has been produced, one that has been controversial and highly debated over the surfboarding community as to whether it takes the "fun" and "skill" out of catching a wave. The new motorized surfboard as shown below has been equipped with (2) aluminium propellers to give the user 20lbs of thrust and reaching speeds of about 12mph. To control the speed of the surfboard's propellers, the surfer than wears a water-proof wireless remote that is worn on the wrist. The remote runs on a lithium-ion battery that holds a charge from 30-40 minutes.
