Closer inspection at the boat launch park revealed battery powered fun toy,pricey, $2k up to $10k.

The electric surfboard was invented in 1935, didn't really become successful until sometime in the 70s when it was reintroduced to the market. Originally a tool for Australian lifeguards to get to and help people in trouble.

I have not noticed any in ND, but have seen them on the coasts.

They’re called efoils and are a lot of fun once you get the hang of it (might take a lot of effort though).
