Electric surfboards: heading into uncharted waters
May 22,2024 | JetFly
The story of electric surfboards begins in the 1930s, when Australians invented the "surf scooter", the prototype of jetboards. It first appeared as a recreational vehicle but was later adopted by rescue teams and lifeguards for rescue efforts as it was more convenient than traditional boats and jet boards. As designs have continued to evolve, electric surfboards have gone through many changes, including many forms of motorized surfboards and electric surfboard designs. By 2013, with the launch of Onean's two electric surfboards, electric surfboards began to enter the mainstream market. These products allow users to glide through the water without waves, making them popular among surfers.
Performance characteristics of electric surfboards
The core of an electric surfboard is its built-in lithium battery, which can provide about 1 hour of kinetic energy, allowing the surfboard to surf on the sea or drive on calm water. These surfboards often use lightweight materials such as carbon fiber to increase speed and agility. Some advanced models, such as the JetFly electric surfboard, offer excellent performance for adult surfing, as well as excellent cornering agility and long-term endurance.
Application scenarios of electric surfboards
Electric surfboards are used in a wide range of applications. In addition to entertainment, they are also used for water rescue. Due to its excellent mobility and maneuverability, electric surfboards perform well in rescue operations, especially when our country's coastline is long and the rescue range is vast. It provides an effective rescue tool. In addition, electric surfboards are also used in professional events, such as the International Electric Surfboard Competition, which shows that electric surfboards have become an official competition event.
The market for electric surfboards is growing rapidly and is expected to continue to expand in the next few years. As technology advances, future electric surfboard may have longer battery life, faster charging, and more efficient power systems. In addition, intelligence will become another important direction for the development of electric surfboards, such as monitoring the battery and performance parameters of the surfboard through mobile applications.
