Here’s something you don’t see every day, a radio-controlled 9-inch “space surfer” that hovers in the air, spins 360 degrees, and moves left, right, backward and forward.

Capable of indoor or outdoor flights, the space surfer has dual propellers that generate enough thrust to send the device from a stationary position to 66-feet in the air without requiring a hand-launch.

The radio frequency remote control has proportional throttle and trim settings that allow it to be precisely controlled through climbs, descents, and turns.

The device is powered by a rechargeable battery that recharges via the included AC adapter. Remote has a 27 feet range and requires a 9-volt battery. Operates for 15 minutes after a 70-minute charge.

The R/C Hovering Space Surfer is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $89.95.

Maybe you remember the Jet Ski Simulator we had up here at GeekAlerts a couple of weeks ago. Here’s the same idea, but with a surfboard instead.

The Interactive Surfboard TV Game ($50) is a plug-and-play video game system that includes a 40-inch long surfboard. The motion sensors on the board allows you to control the game, and get a taste of surfing in your own living room. There are five different levels of difficulty to choose from.

As the speed and height of a wave grows, the sound of waves intensifies, adding realism. The game responds to the boards 8-way directional tilt sensor and transmits your moves using 16-bit technology to ensure rapid game play, allowing you to speed up and slow down to drop into waves, ride through pipelines, or carve turns. Ages 5 and up. 40″ L x 13″ W. (7 lbs.)
