It’s starting to warm up, so now is the perfect time to start thinking about getting back in the water and after being cooped up for months, this electric surfboard from Mertek is the perfect way to break out.
While it might be designed for kids, these speedy surfboards can be used by adults up to 80kg. The Mertek S1 jetboard is the epitome of fun that will see your kids scooting through your local waterway, having the time of their lives.
If you’ve got the need for moderate speed, the Mertek S1 is an excellent choice – at the core of this powerful jet system is a direct-drive motor that reaches a maximum speed of 26 km/h, which is both exhilarating and challenging without compromising safety.

The Mertek jetboard also comes with a wireless remote that features 8 speed settings, including emergency stop – this gives parents full control from the shore, making it a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone.
The jetboards propellers are also hidden, so will prevent unwanted accidents so your kids can play in confidence.
