Wavejet

Gear & Accessories


Some call it a powered surfboard, Wavejet calls it personal water propulsion

WaveJet is a patented Personal Water Propulsion (PWP) engine designed for use in a range of personal watercraft, including surfboards, SUPs, kayaks, kiteboards, rescue boards and light boats. Powered by an integrated twin-lithium ion battery pack, WaveJet is capable of 20 pounds of thrust, has a continuous run-time of over 30 minutes, and recharges in a standard wall socket. The idea behind the WaveJet is you attach it to your board to spend less time paddling and more time riding the waves. Now there are a lot of questions that I have. Can you just add it to any board without any serious alterations? Does the 20lbs of thrust offset the added weight of the unit? No matter what your view on this nifty little power plant, it's a pretty cool idea and I'm sure it's gonna make them some serious greenbacks. Also worth mentioning, WaveJet is based right here in the greater San Diego area.

Coronado Cays (Loews Resort)

LEVEL: Beginners to Advanced



We decided to hit up Coronado yesterday for a little paddle session. The day started out a bit cloudy but by the time we got down to Loews, the clouds hard parted to blue skies and sun. It was a little bit windy but overall very nice.

We dropped in at the Loews dock and paddled through the water ways which are lined with multi-million dollar homes and boats. After a bit of paddling we decided to go over to the Calypso Cafe which has some amazing food and a great selection of beers/sake.

Coronado has always been one of our favorite spots because the people are friendly and the waters are usually very calm. Makes for a great place to take beginners.

4th Of July weekend at the Oceanside Harbor

LEVEL: Beginners to Advanced

The Crew ended up trying a new spot this last holiday weekend at the Oceanside Marina.  We went on July 2nd in the middle of the day, so may not be the best judge of parking and how busy the marina normally is, but we had a great time regardless.  There's several good spots to park and put in, but we found the public docks next to the boat launch a pretty easy and uncrowded area to drop the boards in and get everyone set up.

The waters are pretty calm for the most part even with the boat traffic and certainly a safe place for beginners to start.  Just be mindful of the main waterway heading out into the ocean and be prepared for some waves and heavier traffic as you go.  I would save the waterway for the more advanced, but the trip is worth it once you get out there.  You are already past the beach break and can drop right into the surf as you like.

We cruised around for a bit and ended up parking the boards on the dock next to the Lighthouse and headed into Rock'n Baja Lobster for some drinks and lunch.  Pretty solid spot overall and I'm sure we'll go back soon.
