Motorized Surfer Figurines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The RC Surfer 3 is a Mechanical Toy That Simulates Carving a Wave

— June 29, 2016 — Life-Stages
The RC Surfer 3 is a miniature surfer figurine that acts out the motions and movements of a real pro at a smaller scale. The figurine is built to be able to simulate carving out a wave and move through water thanks to a powered mechanism located inside the toy's surfboard. This provides the figurine with the speed and motion it needs to glide through water.

Surfing can be a tricky sport to master and the RC Surfer 3 provides consumers young and old with a toy to experiment the activity through. The figurine is built out of plastic and has an integrated auto-recovery system that renders it unsinkable. The toy is able to move through water, take on a wave and stay afloat the entire time while in use.
