It’s the future of travel and a step closer to the Hover Boards we all dreamt about from Back to The Future! You can now get your hands on these hover scooters for the modest price of $16999.95 (US).
It levitates inches off the ground powered by an engine-powered fan, and a stream of air exiting a vent in the back provides light forward thrust. Learning to control this beast is said to take under 5 minutes and you don’t need any previous surfing or skating experience.

I’ve personally got a phobia about what’s under me when in the sea so not sure if I like this concept, although it’s a great one.
For a price of around £700 you can have this novel transparent canoe made of a tough polymer also found in the cockpit canopies of supersonic fighter jets. The transparency obviously allows you to see all the fish and underwater seascapes.
It can contain 2 people, maneuver easily and offers adjustable seats to allow paddlers chance to stretch their legs.
It’s also got a lightweight anodized aluminum frame, so it can be easily stored or transported to and from the water. Includes two double-headed paddles, a water bailer, and two flotation devices.

If you can’t afford your own private island like Richard Branson then you now have a new option. All it takes is about £175 and a bit of air!
I’m talking about one which you can inflate yourself and ends up being a 8’ x 8’ platform that can hold 8 adults, or can serve as a mooring station for small boats, kayaks, and wave runners.
It can also be towed at speed by a boat and can support 4 adults in this way. Eight stainless steel mooring rings allow you to connect several inflatable dock systems together. The towing strap makes it easy to transport the unit, and it can connect to an anchor (not included) to keep the platform in place for the day or the season.
Heavy-duty 600 denier cover resists tears, abrasions, and scuffs, and the platforms two air chambers ensure reliability, stability, and comfort. Inflates with a standard pump (sold separately) and deflates rapidly for compact storage in the trunk of your car or a boat cabinet.
Includes four removable padded swim straps for a secure handhold when climbing onto the platform. 12 H x 98 square. Deflated: 7 1/2 H x 29 square. (54 lbs.)
