Winners of the 2006 Enterprise Challenge were Zipper Enterprises. The JetBoard will transform the way beach enthusiasts experience water-sports. This new concept in water transportation - developed by a group of four Monash MBA students - will provide people of all ages the opportunity to explore and enjoy our water-ways. The JetBoard will be cheaper, safer to use, and cleaner than any jet-ski on the market. It weighs only 12kg and can be strapped to the roof of the car in a similar way to surfboards. It has zero emissions, makes practically no noise and costs only 50 cents to fill up, allowing a continuous operation of up to two hours. The JetBoard has the ability to access waterways inaccessible to traditional water craft, without disturbing the wildlife or polluting the environment.
