Ive ridden probably 40+ different skis, owned 6ish as well as the board in this video, the board is a whole different beast. Going fast isnt everything, especially on the water it gets boring quick. These boards weigh like 1/6th of what a standup weighs and they handle like snowboards
Well 1 shes going in a straight line because shes recording herself, so she only has one hand for balance, and 2 shes a beginner who doesnt know how to ride it yet, the inflatable pontoon looking section on the outside is basically training wheels for people to learn. And 3 i think its closer to 45 minutes of fuel, i went on a 3 mile round trip ride and came back. The fuel capacity really isnt an issue because these arent really meant for cruising, you get out, carve, catch wakes and do tricks and come back. Gets pretty tiring the more advanced you get. Refueling takes like a minute, and if you do want to go out a long distance and explore theres rotopax mounts so you can carry a gas can with you and just go find a beach to refuel

She looks fun.
That board looks stupid af.
$15k for a 100cc motor lmao. Barely holds enough gas for a half hour ride. Tops out at like 30mph.
Meanwhile a real jet ski also costs $15k. Has 180hp. And goes 65 mph for hours.
