If you want to build your own DIY Electric Surfboard or Hydrofoil you will find a lot of useful stuff here.
Just recently the information about DIY Electric Hydrofoils is exploding. The fact that an Hydrofoil needs less power once it is flying makes it very attractive and reasonable.
We also see the first DIY electric surfboard kits coming to the market and of course plenty of suppliers for individual components.
In comparison to a DIY electric skateboard it is much harder to build an e-surfer.
You need much more battery power which easily causes heating problems. Such strong batteries are also still very expensive.

Last but not least is safety an important factor. You don’t want to fall of your board and it keeps going. This would be very dangerous for others.

The wireless waterproof remote control will be not only available for the VeFoil Electric Hydrofoil, but can also be used for electric surfboards.
