Thread: PowerSki (Surfboard with an Engine)

Hi Everyone

I am doing some marketing research for my MBA Assignment. Would be much appreciated if you could provide some feedback on this new product that's heading to Australia (starting with WA).

Here are some specifications:

• 330cc Engine (45HP)
• 254cm long, 65cm wide, 22.8cm thick
• Weight: 90kg
• 65 km\h
• High speed plaining & high G-Force turns

Video\Pics can be viewed at - just watch a minute of the video and you'll see what it is

Questions I would like answered:

• How much would you pay for this (considering its a new product and nothing on the market like it)
• Would it complement\replace your Jetski (i.e. another additional PWC you would have instead of a replacement for your JetSki?)

Thanks in advance!


Regards

I wouldnt write off anything until I had given it a go ( within reason ), like it was said its not a ski and its not a surfboard, but that doesn't mean it wont work or be fun.

To answer your questions.

Depending on how robust, well built and practicle it really is I'm guessing I would pay between 3 and 5 thousand.

It would compliment all other toys.

Looks like something I would get a bit off a laugh from, I would like to give it a go.... It would only be good for about ten minutes because I am getting to old for all of that standing up crap...

But where would I ride it? Theres no room in between the jetskis and the surfers and I bet neither group would take ownership of it...

If I was forced to pay for one... I would not fork out any more than a grand.
