It turns out that it's a Jet Kayak. I Googled for a bit and came across Mokai Manufacturing, a company that either made this one or makes something quite like it.
I have to say that I was a bit disappointed that another cultural icon had been tarnished. I had always associated kayaking with the rugged, outdoor life. You could load this thing up with donuts and pork rinds and motor hither and yon, munching away while claiming you were kayaking.
That's OK, but what I really like the looks of is the Hobie Mirage Drive kayaks. They let you actually use your legs to drive the thing, and the transfer of power to motion is much smoother and more efficient than what you get with a paddle. It looks like these are way faster than a standard kayak, plus you can do things with your hands while pedaling. And on top of that, it doesn't use fuel or make noise!
ReplyDeleteJet kayak looks very interesting!

ReplyDeleteNice idea but i prefer to buy a jet sky instead, you have more control and is less risky.
