Hydro jetboards needed a serious kick in the ass to match the abilities of the pro riders, the Jetblade is the boot doing the kicking. Very little beats the thrill of hydro flight. Standing and balancing on a board in mid-air ranks near the top of adventure dreams. We got into this because of the amazing feeling of being able steer yourself through the through the air with the “cushion” of the water to offset the inevitable return to earth impacts! Never before in the history of mankind has practicing to fly and push the limits been so accessible and safe. (Safe is a relative term! Read our precautions page for ways to keep your hydro flight experience safe.) Stratospheric cares about quality and it shows in everything we do. Laser etched serial numbers, clearly marked stance widths, easy to maintain with 100% marine grade (salt water) materials.

Dual Row Bearings

Dual row sealed bearings under each foot, Stratospheric brought this construction to the hydro world back in 2012, this is the way to harness the power and keep it smoothly under control. Clean power, durable. Easy to maintain with no peanut butter needed. :)

TriDro Nozzles

TriDro Tube nozzle design, straight down for power, induced flow five degree kick for stability. Pure directed power with intelligence in design. More tech in the interior flow than all other jetboards combined. Look at the flow. Clean, powerful, no shudder breaks.

Hydro Shaped Y

Hydro Shaped Y tube from the HydroShaper. Computer designed and engineered, but the proof is in the putting, look at the clean powerful flow of the jets. Compact power with focused triangulated jets to stabilize and balance.

Real jetpacks built right the first time. Have confidence flying gear that was built by people care about hydro flight.

Strap Pockets

New for the NX, injection molded strap ends and convenient strap end pockets to keep you Facebook hero shots looking clean.

Plunger Pin Speed Clamps

Pull the pin and open the jaws. Custom made by Stratospheric, our "big pin" Plunger Pin Speed Clamps hold it all together.

Double Trussed Seat

X chooses to defy hydrosport conventions in every way that we can. In our quest to build a better hydro power redirection systems, we refuse to accept any pre-existing market attempts as an “industry standard”, pushing to come up with new and superior solutions. The search for more efficient power handling has led us to the new awesome Dual 180 for the summer of 2016. Power, efficiency, and control, are the characteristics of the new Dual 180 hydro channel system from X-Jets. Also nicknamed the “Shotgun U” due to its double barreled construction, this unique configuration handles 300+ horsepower and thousands of liters of water moving at 70+ miles and hour. Certainly not a lightweight task and the X Hydro Channel is a heavyweight solution that sets the new standard on power redirection.

How did X build the next generation of hydro power handling systems that adapt and channel the power of the jet ski to the hydrojet device? Water is a slippery beast, asking it to turn a 180 degree corner and maintain power and integrity is something hydro engineers grapple with. Far from being a homogeneous mass traveling through a hallway or tube, water twists around on itself and spirals in 3D. Changing the outside shape of the channel is one thing, however the core of the water still twists and spirals as it powers through the turn. One established methods of controlling fluid power robbing turbulence is to insert vanes or flow directors into the stream. From wind tunnels to jet ski pumps. We began with building 3D models and testing them in special water flow analysis software. One of X’s strengths is modelling smooth surfaces and transitions we built models, we tested and we rebuilt. Exploring different options and different methods of channeling the water. After almost 30 generations of testing, we had the results we were looking for, now time for real world testing. We used computer controlled milling machines, aka CNC, to cut large aluminum blocks into the exact shapes of the computer files. Two halves welded together and the billet cut CNC flanges attached. Testing took place in China, Japan Florida, Texas and ultimately Nevada where Ben Merrell took his Dual 180 powered Yamaha to the first place on top of the podium at the recent Hydro Fest event sponsored by Jetpack America. X pulled the trigger and started full production. Production units are arriving the third week of June and begin shipping to customers.

Dual 180 from X-Jets, the most technically advanced, beautifully finished, carefully engineered 180 U redirect in all of hydrosport. X backs up the superior engineering with careful attention to fit and finish. X anticipates high stress areas and goes and extra step to insure longevity and quality. The CNC lathe finished 316 stainless steel inolet port on the Dual 180. Higer stresses are on the mounting side and non-linear torques. We decided to up the ante and make it stainless. All this computer flow shaped goodness wrapped inside high temp powder coating inside and out with hard wearing thick epoxy graphics.

If you are going to do something, do it right, respect your users, make an effort. The X 316 Steering nozzle connects in under a minute to give you back the control of your jet ski when moving between hydroflight locations. We saw what our competitors hacked together, and a put a 700 dollar price tag on it, sad effort. We custom built a great design, built it from the best materials, total 316 Stainless steel marine grade, Delrin bushing pivots because that’s the way you build something right. We charge a reasonable $495. Trust X to want do it right. Easy on, easy off. Built to last, built to perform.
