The Inventor - George Carter invented the Surfjet in (1965)
George Carter has always been way ahead of his time. Expediting a process,
unique entertainment designs and an overall passion to create are just some of
the ingredients that make up Carter’s innovative mind. The first jet-pump
personal watercraft; Today’s JetSki’s are a direct descendant of Carter’s
design.

Janesville became the new Surfjet establishment. Within those four years
the company became Wild Thing Watercraft and then went out of business in
