This is a new KickStarter project, and it's for the first mermaid-ridable electric water jetboard. There are already jetboards out there, but they are stand-up affairs that you ride kind of like a paddle surfboard standing up. This one would be perfect for riding in a tail.

I just had a hilarious mental image of me in a tail, riding one of those, going fast to the point *Shwooop!* there goes the tail!

That would be really great for getting to harder to reach places on the water for photo shoots

That looks so cool! :) I would love to do that!
Have you seen this other cool water jet pack?!? The first time I saw it my jaw dropped!

Ha ha, the water jet packs look like they would be a riot! Apparently you can jet underwater with them too.
WooooHooo!!

I think the jet packs will probably be a resort/rental sport for now, because of cost. The pump boat is 49,900 Euros and the jetpack harness and hose costs 12,990 Euros, and you have to take a special training course before you can buy them. http://flyboard.com/shop-temp/ http://www.jetlev-flyer.com/
Sure would be a lot of fun to do it at some resort, though.
The kickstarter jetboard deal is affordable by an individual, $2,750, and according to the video anyone can learn to ride it right away.
This surf video of the Kymera Jetboard got me all excited too
