Body board

Gizmag first met garage inventor Jason Woods back in 2011. The Kymera jet-powered body board​ has since been evolving into what's now a near production-ready machine complete with official specifications and pricing. We recently had some fun on the water putting the board through its paces.

Perhaps the most interesting style of wearable tech is the category of wearables that turns you into a piece of action sports equipment. The WaveWrecker joins the category as a wearable surf suit that turns the bodysurfer into his own board.

Frankly, what I know about water sports can be written on the dorsal fin of my imaginary surf board (what do you mean they don't have dorsal fins?), but I'm not going to let that stop me telling you a bit about Asap, an electric watercraft designed for lifeguards.

Jason Woods is launching a crowdfunding campaign to get his Kymera electric powered body board on the water.

The Kymera powered body board we looked at back in 2010 has been refined and is nearing commercial availability.

The EXO is an electric personal watercraft, which riders lie on in a prone position.

Jason Woods has designed a jet-powered body board, light enough to carry under your arm, small enough to fit in the trunk of a compact sedan, and efficient enough to enjoy all day without breaking the bank.

A Spanish designer has come up with a concept for a personal watercraft that is, essentially, a hybrid of a body board and a Jet Ski.
