Have you ever just sat around and suddenly got the urge to surf but there were no waves to be found?

Well, Wakejet Cruise from Swedish outfit Radinn is here to save the day. This product is said have the agility and speed of wakeboarding with the freedom of surfing. Sounds simply enough, right? Wrong. It is able to go 28 mph for half an hour on a single charge. With that speed, it requires your full attention with some skill and a side of athleticism.

The Wakejet is powered by lithium-ion batteries and can be controlled by a wireless and waterproof remote. It also comes with an onboard computer system, mobile app, and GPS.

There is no longer a need to depend on nature to help you out with getting a gnarly wave, dude! You can just get one of these babies that are priced at $20,000, find yourself a lake, ocean, river, or any large areas of water, and go put Johnny Tsunami to shame. This carbon and Kevlar board is bound to make any water sports enthusiasts fall in love.

We’ll just leave this here…
