weighing in at 2lbs (1kg), the jet can generate enough thrust to drive a full-size kayak or stand-up paddle board and its occupants up to 11km/hr, with a range of 15 to 25 km on a single battery charge. the water jet manufacturers offer a wide variety of attachments and accessories that will allow users to swap the motor from their kayak, to their paddle board, to their arm and vice versa. using one of these attachments, the jets can attach to basically anything that floats; allowing enthusiasts to motorize existing vessels with ease.

‘we’ve worked incredibly hard to bring bixpy jet to life and we’re excited to give water-sports enthusiasts new ways to enjoy their favorite activity on water, explore new places and find new adventures’, says houman nikmanesh, the san diego-based start-up’s founder and CEO.

kayakers and standup paddle boarders can explore further, fight wind and current and even go fly-fishing. snorkeling and scuba diving become much easier experiences when you users have a jet pack to take with them on your their trip. the bixpy jet is due to showcase on kickstarter in the summer of 2016 and start shipping by the end of the year.

the battery range is from 15 — 25 km/h

kayak adventures can be effortless experiences
