Fire Spittin Jet Powered Kayak On The Water Test

  • Kayaking is supposed to be a calm and peaceful retreat. Not today!
    Super complicated, over priced, inefficient and obnoxiously loud. Those are just a few reasons why this may not be the best idea. This kayak made by Pelican (Catch PWR 100) is ready for a motor to get clamped onto it right from the factory but I might have misinterpreted that concept. Anyone looking for a motorized kayak would fair better with an electric trolling motor on this vessel. See more by clicking this link...

Good way to drown yourself!! You could fill part of the surfboard with fuel or wear it on a backpack=insane!! Way too dangerous!! Unless our "secret space program", AKA Space Force, gives us a power supply that taps into the radiant "Tesla" energy, thus no need to carry fuel. Tesla's system was invented in 1898. But then we would have antigravity as well. With further thinking, the concept is preposterous. Cheers! I'm just happy to be here with the power and heat on.
