Private Events and Experiences
The Great Barrier Island Experience
No boat? No wind? No waves? No problem.
Electric jetboards are a new and exciting way to explore the freedom of riding a wakeboard without the need for a boat, or a surfboard without the need for waves. This is a noise free and zero-emission activity which means we can have peace of mind that we're not degrading our natural environment.
Jetboarding is a watersport that is safe, stable and easy to learn. This makes it an accessable, fun activity for everyone.
Private jetboard experiences and group bookings will be available soon, exclusively on the stunning Great Barrier Island, NZ. The goal is to provide a fun experience for people of all skill levels and abilities ensuring a memorable time for seasoned pros and anxious beginners alike.
Single use rentals of our jetboards may be available on a case-by-case basis.

WHAT IS A JETBOARD?
A jetboard is a motorized wakeboard/surfboard.
HOW DOES THE RADINN JETBOARD WORK?
The Radinn electric jetboard is driven by an impeller jetpack that sends water through a nozzle at the back of the board, providing enough thrust to move the board forward. It’s powered by a lithium-ion battery. The rider controls the speed via an easy-to-use wireless hand controller with a thumb throttle.
IS IT DIFFICULT TO RIDE A RADINN JETBOARD?
No, electric jetboards are very easy to ride. You just need a little practice. Most riders can stand up on our boards within 30 minutes of trying them for the first time.
WHAT IS JETSURFING?
Jetsurfing is a watersport that uses a jetboard that allows you to surf the water without waves. Jetsurfing is a great watersport for lakes, ponds, rivers, and the ocean.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I FALL OFF THE BOARD WHILE RIDING?
Our boards are designed with a safety strap that velcros around your ankle and attaches to the board via a magnetic kill switch. Should you fall off while riding, the strap will disconnect and the board will automatically turn off. When you get back on the board, you must reattach the magnet key into its fitting on the back of the board.
HOW FAST DO THE JETBOARDS GO?
The fastest we have clocked on the jetboard has been 50kmph (and that was fast enough!). However, there are three different speed settings - Easy, Standard, & Pro. Each rider will start on the Easy setting, and the Wake-e-Boards staff member will adjust the speed setting accordingly through the app as riders progress and gain confidence.

Our Jetboards
The X-Sport is Radinn's most durable jetboard model. It’s ultra-resistant hull construction – which originates from windsurf boards and extreme-kayak production – was developed to handle rough conditions and heavy usage. Like it’s forebearer the Freeride, the X-Sport still maintains an innovative, hydrodynamic design and has four fin boxes under the hull instead of the standard two for added customizability. This makes for the perfect rental board, ready for action for all riding abilities.
