NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, March 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) Controlled with a extended snorkel, equipped with a green start button, throttle, and kill switch, the JetBoarder is designed to be easy for the beginner, yet challenging for the athlete.
Chris Kanyaro, Jet Captain, decided to take me for a ride. I have to say the JetBoarder looked nothing like I expected. Approximately 8" long, housing a 45 Horsepower 330cc engine. This thing is packed with the latest technology. The applications of such a small powerful engine seem endless. After a quick safety brief, Chris Kanyaro assured me I was ready to go.
The water was glass, not a hint of wind, and the sun was beaming down. The conditions were perfect. I fired up the engine, and the JetBoarder wanted to go. I could feel this machine has plenty of grunt. Pushing down on the throttle, the JetBoarder pulled itself up onto the plane. I could feel the board become more stable as I accelerated. Now the skill was standing. No, I didn't make it and off I came. What I found fun with the JetBoarder was my interaction with the craft, and the falling into the water. 'It was all me'. Inserting the kill switch (the automatic engine cut out), press the green start button, and away we go again. This time, I got it. Quickly getting up on my feet. WOW 'I'm JetBoarding'. It was not long before I was really carving and really leaning into the turns. The experience of powering into turns on this craft is like nothing I have ever experienced. Decided to test my limits, and slowly walked up towards the nose. Called nose riding, the JetBoarder allows you to walk up to the nose and lean forward, a real 'Walk on Water feeling'.
The JetBoarder is best on flat water when you start out, but with a bit of practice I can see just about anyone jumping waves, cruising around, performing all sorts of tricks. The JetBoarder is capable of a top speed of 65 k/hr. You can double someone, hang ten, jump, carve and cruise.
After my first go I was hooked and the advantages of the JetBoarder over some other water sports are plenty. Unlike wakeboarding you don't need a $100,000 boat, a driver and observer to get on the water. You don't even need super smooth water like a water skier needs. It is easy to transport, can be launched just about anywhere, and it's also worth noting that the JetBoarder uses hardly any petrol when compared with most family boats.
JetBoarder attended most of the major boat shows around the world in 2010, and is set to attend even more Boat Shows in 2011. We have positioned the JetBoarder as the Ultimate Luxury Toy to complement the Sea Bob Cayago F7, and the Seabob Magnum. "It's not for everyone," advises Chris Kanyaro, "but neither is a new Sunseeker, Ferretti, or Azimut Motor Yacht."
As Chris Kanyaro advised the true appeal of the JetBoarder is it is "Anywhere, Anytime, Anyone." I'm hooked.

Chris Kanyaro advised JetBoarder is looking for dealers worldwide: http://www.jetboarderintl.com/jetboard_powerboard_dealers.htm.

The connection between a cell's cytoskeleton and its surface receptors
2011-03-07
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 6, 2011) -- New findings from researchers at Harvard Medical School in Boston and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto may shed light on the mechanisms that regulate the organization of receptors on the cell surface, a critical aspect of cell signaling not well understood at this time.
The group reports on their use of the macrophage protein CD36, a clustering-responsive class B scavenger receptor, as a model for studying the processes governing receptor clustering and organization. The protein is involved in a number of cellular and physiological ...
Scientists probe the role of motor protein in hearing loss
2011-03-07
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 6, 2011) -- From grinding heavy metal to soothing ocean waves, the sounds we hear are all perceptible thanks to the vibrations felt by tiny molecular motors in the hair cells of the inner ear. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have now identified the mechanism by which a single amino acid change can disrupt the normal functioning of one of the critical components of that physiology -- a molecular motor protein called myo1c, which resides in the cochlea of the inner ear.
The mutation (called R156W), was first identified ...
Avoid risking children's health during home energy retrofits, renovations, experts urge
2011-03-07
Home energy retrofits tackle climate change and when done right they should make homes healthier, while aiding families struggling with utility bills.
Without adequate training and precaution, however, renovators, energy retrofitters and do-it-yourselfers who disturb lead-based paint, asbestos insulation and other toxic materials in older buildings put the health of all -- especially children -- living there at risk of serious health impacts.
Lead exposure can potentially lead to lowered intelligence and worse; asbestos exposure can potentially lead to debilitating ...
New role for an old molecule: protecting the brain from epileptic seizures
2011-03-07
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — For years brain scientists have puzzled over the shadowy role played by the molecule putrescine, which always seems to be present in the brain following an epileptic seizure, but without a clear indication whether it was there to exacerbate brain damage that follows a seizure or protect the brain from it. A new Brown University study unmasks the molecule as squarely on the side of good: It seems to protect against seizures hours later.
Putrescine is one in a family of molecules called "polyamines" that are present throughout the body ...
Rehabilitation within a day of knee replacement pays off
2011-03-07
Starting rehabilitation sooner following knee arthroplasty surgery could pay dividends - for both patients and hospitals. Commencing physical therapy within 24 hours of surgery can improve pain, range of joint motion and muscle strength as well as cut hospital stays, according to new research in the journal Clinical Rehabilitation, published by SAGE.
Mindful of the trend towards discharging patients from hospital more rapidly after surgery in recent years, physical therapy and public health researchers from Almeria, Malaga and Granada in Spain set out to investigate whether ...
Leicester leads on heart attack genetic link discovery
2011-03-07
The largest-ever study of its type into coronary heart disease, involving scientists from the University of Leicester, has uncovered 13 new genes that increase risk of heart attacks.
Professor Nilesh Samani, British Heart Foundation Professor of Cardiology at the University of Leicester, based at Glenfield Hospital, who co-led the international research programme, called CARDIoGRAM, said most of genes identified were not previously known to be involved in the development of coronary heart disease, opening of the possibility of developing new treatments for this common ...
New gene regions identified that predispose people to heart attacks, Stanford scientists say
2011-03-07
STANFORD, Calif. — Thirteen new gene regions have been convincingly linked to coronary atherosclerosis in a massive, new, international genetics study involving investigators from the Stanford University School of Medicine.
The results of the study, to be published online March 6 in Nature Genetics, provide 13 vital new clues on the etiology of this disease, the most common cause of death worldwide. The study doubles the number of gene regions previously known to predispose people to this condition. Coronary atherosclerosis is the process by which plaque builds up in ...
Gene responsible for severe osteoporosis disorder discovered
2011-03-07
Scientists have identified a single mutated gene that causes Hajdu-Cheney syndrome, a disorder of the bones causing progressive bone loss and osteoporosis (fragile bones). The study, published in Nature Genetics today, gives vital insight into possible causes of osteoporosis and highlights the gene as a potential target for treating the condition.
There are only 50 reported cases of Hajdu-Cheney syndrome (HCS), of which severe osteoporosis is a main feature. Osteoporosis is a condition leading to reduction in bone strength and susceptibility to fractures. It is the most ...
