    This isn't the first motorized surfboard I've seen. I once saw a gas powered surfboard posted on Ebay, and it looked to be created in the 70's or 80's sometime, if not before that. The thing weighed in at over 50 lbs from what I recall, not too practical for surfing or carrying around the beach.

    I have dreamed of these for years.
    I wonder if I can get it in kit form?
