Often incorretly referred to as the Jetsurf, which is simply the name of one particular brand of jetboard. Now more commonly known as Jetboards, motorised jetboards, motorised surfboards, electric jetboards and electric surfboards.
Jetboards are basically powered surfboards with an engine, either petrol or electric. The petrol engine or electric motor powers a pump and turbine which sucks water up into the pump and pushes it out the back of the board and propels the board forward. The rider controls the speed with a hand held control, this control is sometimes attached to a rope on the front of the board making it more stable and easier to turn, while some controls can be held freely. There are many different shapes, sizes, brands and models and Jetboard England sells almost every jetboard on the market.
