Who needs a wave pool — or waves at all — when you can hook your feet into a lightweight motorized surfboard that can hit speeds of up to 40 miles per hour? Buying one will set you back about $10,000, so spending $149 for an hour-long test ride seems about right.

10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday, Kammerman’s Marina and Siren’s Bar and Grill, 447 Carson Ave., Atlantic City, 609-348-8418, jetsurftour.com, kammermansmarina.com

Isn’t she — or he — lovely? Probably not. But a hermit crab’s shell is sometimes handsome. Isn’t she — or he — fast? Probably not. But enticing the wee creature with a leaf of lettuce or a slice of mango may do the trick in the second of O.C.’s back-to-back crustacean contests.

Pageant 6 to 6:30 p.m., races 6:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, 6th Street Beach, Ocean City, 609-399-6111, ocnj.us
