WaveBreaker: the electric, inflatable jet-ski

Nah, the WaveBreaker probably won't provide the kind of thrills that a jet-powered kayak would, but riding around on this thing is a lot less likely to leave you maimed. This electric, inflatable watercraft comes loaded with a 600-watt motor, weighs 66-pounds, and touts the ability to scoot around for "45 to 75 minutes" before needing a recharge. Of course, we hope you weren't planning on picking one of these up for racing, as the 6.21mph top speed may hurt your chances at victory. Reportedly, this bad boy is slated to arrive in America later this month for the low, low price of $499 -- just steer clear of Cypress knees and stray fish hooks, ya heard?

Wow, what dumbass went through this thought process: "Hey, those Segways are really neato. Now we need an aquatic variant, and make it inflatable!"

[McGinley @ Aug 22nd 2007 11:41AM]

Yeah cos a segway is so akin to an inflatable jetski.

[Andrew @ Aug 22nd 2007 11:56AM]

Well, yeah, if the inflatable jetski only goes 6.21 mph...

[rbw @ Aug 22nd 2007 12:04PM]

A Segway goes 12mph. So, how are they related again?

[Mark @ Aug 22nd 2007 11:59AM]

There's no way this will sell if it goes 6.21 MPH.

"Mullet not included"

[InfinityPlusOne @ Aug 22nd 2007 12:13PM]

I guess they wont be releasing a Play 'n Charge kit for this, huh?

[dj-kenpo @ Aug 22nd 2007 12:23PM]

wow, everyday someone invents soemthing that's nothing more than a scam, it amaes me how semone can knowlingly introduce a product knowing anyone who buys it will only do so unaware of the 6mph limit and KNOW that person won't be happy. fucking ass's.

[Steven Andekian @ Aug 22nd 2007 1:53PM]

Wow last time i checked water didn't go good with electricity

[nickroz @ Aug 22nd 2007 3:10PM]

not only do they charge you $500, but you are reminded of your stupidity when you go flat in the water and then get shocked.

[Patrick @ Aug 22nd 2007 2:01PM]

Electric watercraft? I think I'll pass. :-)

[Tawakol @ Aug 22nd 2007 2:14PM]

$500?? I know for a fact that they cost less than $50 to make!!

[Kei @ Aug 22nd 2007 5:57PM]

yeah they've been selling these in Qatar for around a year now (or what I've noticed anyway). They look fun.

[Chimuel @ Aug 23rd 2007 2:14PM]

Electricity+water=NOT A GOOD MIX.

No thanks.

[Flalex @ Aug 24th 2007 1:56AM]

Canadian tire's had them for months now
