The Jetboard was an early powered longboard surfboard. It is one of the earliest, if not the earliest motorized sufboard, produced in 1968 or earlier.

The early hulls were made of wood, but later hulls were made by the aeronautical company Sargent Fletcher in El Monte, California. Their initial development and production was funded by Alfred S. Bloomingdale (heir to the Bloomingdale's Department store fortune). [cite web|url=http://www.powerboarding.com/classicjetboards.htm|accessdate=July 19|accessyear=2006|title=Jet Board History]
