Jetsurf 2025: A Guide to Motorized Surfboard Models

All surfboards now come equipped with Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) technology—electronics control fuel injection for optimal performance. This system offers several advantages:

• Simplified maintenance procedures
• Improved fuel efficiency
• Steady power delivery at low RPMs
• Smooth operation without jerks or stalls
• Compliance with environmental safety standards
• Adjusting controller length has become easier even during rides. The modern controller features a Boost function: pressing the throttle beyond the first notch activates maximum power output when needed. Additionally, all boards include Easy Cleaning Adapters (ECA) for quick post-use flushing.

Some models feature built-in generators eliminating battery charging before each ride. Even gas-powered jetboards incorporate advanced electronics.

Now, we can clearly categorize Jetsurf products into two distinct groups: standard JetBoards and SKI (surfboards with handlebars). Experience on a ski differs from traditional surfing due to added stability provided by the handlebar, making it more accessible and enjoyable.

The Jetsurf SKI lineup includes three models mirroring classic motorized surfs: Race DFI SKI, Titanium DFI SKI, and Electric 2 SKI. Handlebars are detachable, allowing users to switch between modes seamlessly - a versatile “two-in-one” solution.

Standard Jetsurf Board Equipment Includes:

• Surf board cover
• Set of fins
• Foot straps
• Magnetic key
• Charging device
• Storage stand
• Maintenance toolkit

Riding silently brings significant benefits despite drawbacks such as heavier weight and transportation challenges. Longer charging times averaging around three hours necessitate owning an additional battery pack.

Charging devices monitor critical parameters including temperature and humidity, ensuring safe operations and automatically shutting off once charged or detecting issues.

Buyer's Advice

Consider Your Skill Level: If you're a beginner, opt for stable models like Adventure DFI/PLUS, Cruiser DFI, or the Electric 2. These boards facilitate learning thanks to increased balance support.

For faster skill progression or prior experience in other action sports, consider adrenaline-packed options like Race DFI or Titanium DFI.

Choose Your Style of Ride: Each model caters to specific riding preferences. Do you prefer mellow shoreline cruises (Cruiser, Adventure, Electric)? Extended open-water voyages (Adventure PLUS)? Or thrilling races (Race, Titanium)?

Will Others Use the Board? Family-friendly dual-foot binding configurations ensure compatibility with any stance preference, particularly useful if multiple users share the same board.

Travel Plans: Bear in mind that airline regulations prohibit carrying lithium batteries for electric surfboards. Instead, ship them separately via cargo services. Gasoline-powered boards may be checked as luggage provided they have empty fuel tanks.
