Relevance of the invention
One of the most popular sports destinations is surfing, which attracts athletes with its dynamism, beauty, and complexity.
However, the primary condition for training or competition is the presence of waves.
Engineers have created unique surfboards with a motor to make this problem lose its relevance.
The invented moto boards make it possible to enjoy the speed even in the calmest weather conditions and cover considerable distances using the surf for up to 3 hours without a break.
Characteristics and working principle
The board’s movement twists a unique propeller installed in the water cannon.
The motor is located inside the board’s body and is usually found horizontally.
The control is carried out using a special gas button on the handle, which the athlete must always hold in his hand.
The body of the surfboard with a water cannon is made from light yet durable parts and elements.
In addition, unique handles are installed to secure the legs for the most convenient use on the motor board.
The well-thought-out geometry of the device body makes it possible to use it both in complete calm and in the event of a storm.
