Modular BomBoard carves through waves and stows in your trunk

Whether cutting across the waves or making your own, jet skis are a ton of fun. They do, on the other hand, have to be carted around on trailers, eat fuel like nobody's business, and can easily cost as much as a car. That's why we're so impressed by the BomBoard, a modular new personal watercraft (PWC) that has somehow found a way to solve all of the jet ski's foibles in a single go.

At $3,495, the BomBoard will cost you roughly a third of what a new jet ski does. Then there's the small displacement, high efficiency engine that gets you much more ride time out of a single tank of gas. The BomBoard's biggest innovation, however, is its modular design: breaking into four parts, this PWC is small enough to be stowed in the trunk of your compact car. With a lower ride profile and three different ways to ride, the BomBoard just might have everyone from surfers to jet ski owners turning green come summer.
