Because eventually everything will have a motor and AI and want to kill you, somebody is manufacturing motorized surfboards. The PowerSki Jetboard is basically a bare-bones Jet Ski made for surfing when there aren't any waves. Plus it can reach speeds up to 40MPH, which is just fast enough to outrun a shark. Did you hear that, Jaws? You're not eating this ass! What? NO YOU CAN'T JUST NIBBLE AT THE DINGLEBERRIES.

Hit the jump for a video of the watersports in action. NO NOT PEEING.
