Sea Scooter

Inspired by a combination of surfing and skating, Sea Scooter makes it possible for people who live in areas with no waves to enjoy the thrill of surfing with ease and safety.

Compact, lightweight, and well considered in ergonomic terms, Sea Scooter offers a new way to simulate wave riding in calm water. Making use of new technology, its powerful but compact motor can propel the rider to a speed high enough to replicate the sensation of surfing. Yet despite its power, Sea Scooter is very easy to handle. Made with light composite materials and with a retractable pivot handle, Sea Scooter can be reduced to a very compact form and is easily carried.

Balancing in the sea might have been difficult due to the Sea Scooter’s small size, but stabilising fins address this issue so that riders will quickly find their equilibrium. Safety has also been given due consideration, and the guarded propeller allows no possibility of injury in the event that the rider overturns the scooter.

Sea Scooter could be used in a variety of contexts – not only for recreation, but also for research and exploration (such as science investigations), or small-scale rescue missions.
