How about a jet powered surfboard?
Here's another Jet Surfboard.
The one in the first link goes up to 45 mph, the one in the second link goes to 32 mph. Battery powered.

Forget all of them. Hoverboards are due in 2015.

Dinoflagellates- Dinosaurs. With whips.
As part of Intertidal Ecology course nearly three decades back, I went on a couple of Night Dives off of Catalina. These weren't the normal kind- we weren't going after Lobsters. Well, not very many.
It was a Full Moon, and any additional needed light was provided by Cyalume Sticks.
Night Diving is strongly Buddy enforced. My Buddy turned out not to be the cute Blonde I was hoping for. Such is life.
I Buddied the Gnome from Moss Landing, with his dozens of Collection Bottles.

We were specifically looking for Bioluminescence under Natural conditions. There is the constant kind, there is the intermittent triggered kind, and there is the WTF Is That kind:

When the collection was done, it was right back to the makeshift Laboratory, where measurements and Photomicrographs were made under filtered and UV light, and all before dawn, which just happens to be important.
A few years later, the Moss Landing Lab was destroyed by the Loma Prieta Earthquake. It has since been rebuilt, but much of the the Collections were lost.
