Jordan James thought he was getting an electric foil board in the mail.
The Auckland media specialist had been scrolling Instagram while waiting for a flight with his family recently, when an advertisement for an electric foil board popped up.
"I saw it, it was great deal. It was $200 and had a counting down little clock on it and I thought I don't want to miss out, so I bought it."
He was feeling pretty happy with his purchase.
"I thought I was going to get one of these electric foil boards which is sort of the next level from an electric surfboard, where it's got a foil below the water which motorises it. So you're essentially riding above the water," he says.
