What is an electric surfboard?

Electric surfboards are opening new ways of exploring the ocean and the waves. Here's everything you should know about the motorized surfboard.

We have all seen surfers riding waves on all types of surfboards.

There are templates, shapes, and sizes for nearly all small and big waves, clean and bumpy ocean conditions.

But what is an electric surfboard, and how does it work?

Electric surfboards are specially designed boards powered by lithium-ion batteries that allow riders to glide across any water body at high speeds.

They are equipped with an electric jet-propulsion system activated by wireless handheld remote control and don't rely solely on the energy of the waves to gain speed.

Electric surfboards are not meant to replace conventional surfboards.

Actually, they aim to a broader market, including the boating and high-speed water sports industry.

Battery-powered surfboards require a hydrodynamic design capable of embedding boosting mechanisms and technology that propel the device forward in a couple of seconds.
