They will be tested for the first time at the largest European recreational swimming competition, the Great North Swim, which takes place in Great Britain.

The Slovenian SipaBoard is the first self-inflating sup in the world, which reached the financial goal of 150,000 dollars after two weeks on Kickstarter, which the SipaBoards team needed to start production. The SipaBoard has a built-in electric battery that inflates the sup in the first stage, then hides in the board itself and drives a thruster motor that helps to glide on the surface (maintains balance and direction). It allows a speed of up to three knots (approx. 5 km/h) and comes with a wireless paddle, which is also a "gas pedal".
