Things To Know About Electric Surfboards

Have you ever seen someone ride an electric surfboard? The electric surfboards are opening new ways of exploring the ocean and the waves. Also known as motorized surfboards, they are available in templates, shapes, and sizes for nearly all small and big waves, clean and bumpy ocean conditions.

So, exactly what is an electric surfboard, and how does it work? Electric surfboards are specially designed boards that are powered by lithium-ion batteries that allow riders to glide across any water body at high speeds. These surfboards are equipped with an electric jet-propulsion system that is activated by wireless handheld remote control and do not rely solely on the energy of the waves to gain speed.

The electric surfboards are not meant to replace conventional surfboards. Instead, they aim to a broader market, including the boating and high-speed water sports industry.

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

The first-ever electric surfboard was built in Australia in the year 1935. Known as Surf Scooter, it was a motorized surfboard that was built to help lifeguards rescue struggling or drowning swimmers on Sydney’s Bondi Beach. After the first tests, this project was abandoned, and the innovative idea hibernated for 25 years.

During the year 1960, American watersports entrepreneur and pioneer Hobart "Hobie" Alter developed a surfboard with an outboard motor. During the first decade of the 2000s, there was an attempt to market a jet-assisted surfboard that was designed to paddle faster and catch waves easier. However, the niche product had to wait another ten years to really capture the interest of water sports enthusiasts.

Nowadays, these the electric surfboards that are available are intuitive, versatile, and extremely fun, making them a complement to traditional wave riding.

If you are looking to purchase a fliteboard, you need to choose the right one from the options that are available on the market. Purchasing a fliteboard is a big investment. It can cost as much as a used car, so it is something you want to get right to avoid being disappointed. A fliteboard is a lot more fun compared to any car at the same price though. If you choose the right one, you will have a lot of fun using it. When choosing a fliteboard there are a few attributes that you should look at when comparing which to go with.   One of them is the board.
