There are a lot of strange things that happen in the world of surf. There was the WaveJet–which may or may not still be a thing–there’s all those weird stand up paddle sports, like lacrosse and yoga and iceberg golf and the real sport of kings, beer drinking. There’s even those Jetboards, which are, perhaps, the weirdest of them all.
But how fun do they look? Be honest. It would be fun if there was no one around to call you a kook because surfing is so incredibly scared of anything other than a standard thruster. And now there’s this! Drone Surfing!
Sure, you’ve got to take a running start, but once that’s done, the Freefly Alta 8 actually whips this guy around pretty quickly. That’s because it’s got eight propellers, has a max RPM of 6300 and costs a staggering $17,495.
