About this tour
When Charlie from our BugBitten team tried this, we got a dose of electric desert adrenaline that actually delivered. You're doing two things here: piloting a modified Tesla Cybertruck with serious off-road grunt across the Sonoran scrub, then switching to an electric JetSurf board on a desert lake at speeds that feel genuinely quick. The whole thing runs 2–3 hours depending on your appetite for repeats. It's niche — very few operators are doing this mashup — and the vibe attracts genuine thrill-seekers rather than casual sightseers. Jason, the owner, knows his craft. It's quick, sweaty, and properly fun if high-speed driving and water toys are your lane.
Highlights
- Piloting a 845 hp Cybertruck across genuine desert terrain, not a manicured track
- Electric JetSurf board hits 32 mph; carving on water actually feels like surfing
- Accessible water option — sit, stand, or lie down on the board
- Direct hotel pickup saves mucking about with rental logistics
- Owner Jason is an off-road champion who backs up his own instruction
- No queue mentality; small group size keeps it intimate
- Snacks and water included; hydration matters out here
What to expect
You'll start with a safety briefing and a feel for the Cybertruck's handling in the open desert. Don't expect a slow cruise — Jason gets you into proper off-road driving with acceleration, drifting, and obstacles. The truck does respond like nothing else; the torque is immediate and the low centre of gravity is noticeable. After 45 minutes or so of driving, you'll swap to the lake and the JetSurf. First time on the board can be wobbly, but the learning curve is steep. Standing up while carving gets you grinning fast.
The Arizona landscape itself is bone-dry and open — good visibility, relentless sun. Water temperature isn't mentioned, so pack accordingly. Pacing is snappy; there's not much downtime. If you're unfit or nursing any joint trouble, this will remind you quickly. The whole operation feels genuinely small-scale; you're not part of a 40-person assembly line.
Good to know
If you love driving and water sports, this is a rare combo that actually works. The Cybertruck is legitimately impressive off-road, and the JetSurf delivers real thrills. Equipment and instruction are solid. Direct pickup is a genuine convenience.
It's physically demanding — you'll be gripping, bracing, and balancing for two-plus hours. The sun exposure is intense; sunscreen and a hat are non-negotiable. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Moderate fitness is a real requirement, not marketing bluff. The price point isn't disclosed here, but novelty and performance gear this niche don't come cheap. Water spray on the JetSurf can be cold; bring a towel and a dry change if you're sensitive. Small group size means book ahead — this fills up. Peak season will be cooler months (late autumn through early spring).
