OceanAlpha Unveiled Smart Jetboard FFI, a Revolutionary Product Both for Water Fun and Lifesaving, at CES 2019
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–OceanAlpha, the world’s leading and largest supplier of unmanned surface
vessels (USV), was pleased to announce that it unveiled a new product,
Smart Jetboard FF I, at CES 2019, which opened on January 8. Different
to the Smart Lifebuoy the company launched earlier, the Smart Jetboard
can serve as both a lifebuoy and a jetboard.
The Smart Jetboard FF I is a three-segment board about 1 meter long and
0.8 meters wide, weighing 10 kilograms. It employs a dual-jet pump with
a battery life of 30 minutes and a maximum speed of 5m/s, providing
excellent performance.
As a water entertainment device, the Smart Jetboard comes with direction
and speed buttons that allow the user to lie comfortably and safely on
the board and easily navigate the board.
The average speed of other similar products is about 1m/s, but
OceanAlpha achieved 3m/s which creates a better experience of surfing.
Compared with other similar jetboard products on the market, the Smart
Jetboard is easier to operate and much safer and thus can serve a wider
range of users. The Smart Jetboard can surf smoothly through the waves,
providing more entertaining features than the current electric
kickboards and swim-aid boards on the market. It is the choice for
individuals and water park operators to use on yachts, beaches, islands,
and other aquatic sports.
The Smart Jetboard can also be used as a smart lifebuoy. The traditional
foam lifebuoy, with limited throwing range and low accuracy, is easy to
miss the golden time for rescue. With the Smart Jetboard, one simply has
to throw it on the water and remotely drive it to the drowning person.
It has a control distance of 500 meters and can carry two adults. What’s
more, the Smart Jetboard turns on automatically once it hits the water,
saving valuable rescue time. It can be used on both sides and has
self-righting function in case it is overturned by waves. It can be used
in swimming pools, reservoirs, rivers, beaches, yachts, ferries and
other rescue scenes.
The Smart Jetboard is expected to partially replace the traditional
lifebuoy and become one of the standard devices for major attractions,
marinas and tourist destinations. With entertainment and life-saving
functions, the Smart Jetboard will be the first of its kind in the water
entertainment equipment market. Coupled with its superior quality and
performance, it is an innovative product with great market potential.
