Ocean City will be a stop during
the 2013 WaveJet Summer Ex-
perience Tour this weekend. Ac-
cording to WaveJet Propulsion,
WaveJet is a patented personal
water propulsion system designed
for use in a range of personal wa-
tercraft including surfboards and
stand-up paddle boards, lifeguard
rescue boards, body boards and
more.
The WaveJet System includes
board, wireless wrist controller
and the patented WaveJet Power
Pod, which uses renewable, re-
chargeable lithium ion batteries,
and provides 20 pounds of thrust.
The pod is powered through a
wireless wrist controller that uti-
lizes Seatooth technology and
recharges into any electrical outlet
in just three hours.
WaveJet technology also fea-
tures an electronic dismount, so
that if the rider falls off the water-
craft, the power is cut.
"So for guys like Garrett that
surf these big waves, they have a
little extra push besides the arms
paddle power, so they are pretty
high tech, pretty advanced and
new, and they are doing the demo
so people can check them out," K-
Coast Surf Shop Director of Mar-
keting Mike Williams said.
Williams added the WaveJet
tour will be partnering McNamara
with Life Rolls On founder Jesse
Billauer, who was surfing competi-
tively by the age of 11. By the mid-
'90s, Surfer magazine had named
him one of the Top 100 up-and-
coming surfers of the world.
In March 1996, while surfing,
Billauer was hit by the crest of a
wave and flew headfirst into a
shallow sandbar. At the hospital, it
was determined that he had suf-
fered a complete spinal cord injury
and was now a quadriplegic.
"With the WaveJet he can go
out and still surf ... it allows him to
get up and surf even though he is
paralyzed," Williams said. "So
there are local people that are in-
terested in that, that have disabili-
ties ... and hopefully this will en-
courage them to get out there."
Ocean City may not be known
for its big waves, but it is becom-
ing known for having world-class
athletes stopping by, Williams fur-
thered.
"This is a cool opportunity for
young surfers to older surfers, or
people who may have a disability.
It will be a good experience to
come out and meet Garrett as an
inspirational person by conquering
his own fears and breaking boun-
daries. Anybody can go out and
surf. You don't have to be a world-
class professional guy to go out
and have fun," he said. "It should
be a pretty cool event. We have
had a lot of really strong feedback
so far. I have a feeling it is going to
be an enormous turnout, especial-
ly for Memorial Day."
