Created by a Formula 1 design engineer, the JetSurf is a motorized surfboard powered by a 100 cc combustion engine. It weighs 27 pounds and can go 40 mph -- pretty impressive.
A lot of innovations come along in surfing but never take off. So is this one a game-changer?
Only time will tell. But as surfer Jamie O'Brien says in the video, "It's crazy where surfing is going. You don't need a wave to surf any more. You don't need a paddle either."
