It’s been a crazy week here at Giz. We met amazing Australian engineers and personally test drove some crazy gear: folding boats, water jetpacks, motorised surfboards and electric dirt bikes. But what do we try next? As you’ll see in this video, we have some ideas…
Ideally, we want to support innovations in and around Australia. So check out the video above and let us know if you’ve got something in mind we haven’t thought (or heard) about.
The crazier, the better!
Meet Quickboats:
The Aussie-Made Folding Boat Of The Future
Australia is home to 23 million people, give or take a few. Most of those people live in the cities which polka-dot this beautiful coastline of ours, and even more of them live in tiny apartments around those cities. So how are Aussies meant to enjoy the great Australian dream of getting out onto the water that surrounds our glorious nation? Meet Quickboats: an Aussie-built boat that packs flat into the size of a stand up paddleboard within one minute.
