German company Lampuga has created a motorized surfboard that is run by a 15-horsepower engine that can make the board go as fast as 47 kilometers per hour.
This 32-kilogram surfboard runs on electricity and has a battery life that may last up to 40 minutes.
The company also offers a high-end version of the motorized surfboard that boasts its stylish looks and breath-taking speed of up to 54 kilometers per hour.
These motorized surfboards are just two of the many products showcased at the The 8th Philippine Boatshow & Nautical Lifestyle Expo and Conference held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay.
Apart from surfboards, a number of water sports equipment, such as kayaks, paddles, and body boards, are also being showcased at the expo.
The event also highlights different yachts and motor boats, as well as fishing equipment and water gears. Some of the country's top fishing charters are also offering deals to both first-time and veteran fishers.
Meanwhile, the event headlines a forum where marine and biodiversity experts discuss their experiences and insights in the Philippine waters.
Some of the speakers include Graham Campbell of the Pacific Strategies & Assessments Group, Police Superintendent Rey Peralta of PNP's Intelligence Division, Bea Jose of Palafox & Associates, and Carmela Sevilla of Portulano Resort.
The 8th Philippine Boatshow & Nautical Lifestyle Expo and Conference started last Friday, February 19, and will be open until Sunday.
