Bixpy Jet Drive: One Motor for Kayaks, Paddle Boards and Swimming
At Surf Expo 2018 I go over the Bixpy jet motor, which works handheld for swimming and scuba and mounts to kayaks and paddle boards.
What’s in this video
The Bixpy jet motor is the most versatile system I’ve seen. I use my handheld one for exploring reefs, in pools, and I take it on flights for vacations. Then I mount that same motor on my kayaks and inflatable paddle boards.
At Surf Expo 2018 I go through the universal kayak rudder mount, battery life, rudder gudgeon mounts, paddle board run time and the wireless speed controller. Bixpy sells a wide range of mounts, so you buy the motor and battery and pick the mounts you need. If it floats, chances are a Bixpy can be attached.
