This invention is for those people who haven’t quite mastered the art of catching waves on a bodyboard. Rather than having to paddle or invest in a pair of flippers this genius is looking for $10,000 to attach a sail to the bottom of the board to make it easier to catch waves.

The promotional video shows all kinds of awesome bodyboarding antics – all achieved without the use of the wavecatcher. The inventor also struggles to explain how you stop the board constantly being dragged into shore by the sail. It’s probably better to avoid this guy’s mistakes and just buy some fins.

Funding Status: The Wave Catcher has been pulled from Kickstarter.
