The Kingii

THE NEW STANDARD IN WATER SAFETY
With 900% funded ... it is going to be the smallest inflatable in the world.

Parents - you worry about your kids but want them to be independent and have fun in the water? You like the thrill of risk-taking and love adventures? You like to enjoy your time on the boat? We do as well but we do not like to wear bulky life jackets! Be prepared for capsizing or man overboard. With Kingii you, your friends and your family can be safe on your next trip. Kingii is the perfect companion for all your adventures in and around the water!

The Kingii consists of an inflatable nylon bladder folded up in a pouch and integrated into a wrist strap along with a CO2 cartridge. Pulling a lever inflates the bright orange bladder in about one second, providing emergency flotation. In addition to the bladder, there's a whistle to signal for help and a button compass to help in navigating back to shore. After use, the bladder can be deflated, refolded, and repacked in its pouch.

The Rampant

The $1.3 Million Surfboard
"Life is short, get the best if you can — price is just a number, but the experience is forever."

Says New Zealand surfboard designer Roy Stuart who has created the world's most expensive surfboard. The 10-foot-6 ‘The Rampant,’ painted with 23-karat gold, is made from glossy timber and offers a single concave from nose to tail which is said to maximize balance.
The bottom of the board has a unique tunnel fine crafted from Kahikatea wood, which is native to New Zealand, and provides rapid acceleration according to the designer.

"Rampant is so visually striking many people think it might be designed for artistic appeal alone,” Stuart saiys. "But in the end high price is a consequence of the ultimate design and performance of a lifetime."

The Quadrofoil

The first all electric hydrofoiling personal watercraft
How cool is this: The Quadrofoil watercraft flies above the water with the help of underwater hydrofoils - and a top-speed of up to 40 km/h! All of it guilt-free, too, as it also boasts an all-electric outboard motor and special steering system, so not a drop of oil spoils the environment.


The company reports a full charge in 2 hours and a range of 100 km (54 nautical miles) for the Q2S model, while the Q2A’s range is cut in half to 50 km (27 nm).

Quadrofoil is available to order and ships in March. You can pre-order it for 15,000 EUR (Q2A Electric Model) or 22,500 EUR for a Q2S Electric Limited Edition.
