Waterwolf from Oberammergau in Germany is developing the electric surfboard Waterwolf MPX. MPX stands for „motorized-propeller-drive-unit“ which means that this E-Surfer is using a propeller.
Most other electric surfboards are using a jet engine.

We have tested the Waterwolf MPX 3 with riders of different weight and you will find our full review below. We really enjoyed riding this board.
Markus has opened several test centres in Germany and Italy where you can ride his boards before you buy. More centres are planned for 2018 as you can read in our article below.
