Over the past 6 months I have spent hundreds of hours researching, building and testing a new efoil electric surfboard and waterproof surfboard remote. While I have been able to create a working DIY electric hydrofoil propulsion system, myself and about 700 other DIY electric surfboard builders have yet to find an easy and affordable way to build or buy a proof bluetooth remote. of water.

Let’s face it, no one feels right putting together their electric surfboard with a DIY waterproof remote control in a lunch bag. It will be a challenge for someone to develop a colorful, buoyant and waterproof surfboard remote that is designed with smooth throttle control, comfort and an affordable price.

Currently, there are over 80 builders in various online forums and Facebook groups, trying to create a solution that is easy to build and works well. Every month these builders test new designs and parts, which if all goes well, a new design will work well and take things to the next step of testing and then into production.

If you’re trying to build your own remote or thinking about building your own remote, keep in mind that the parts you buy have a high risk of not working and you’ll quickly spend $150-$800 on parts. This is the whole point of open source design and pool creation. This design process can move quickly as everyone collaborates and shares information, and in the end everyone comes up with something great to use.

There are now several new sets of electric and jet surfboards. Many have a waterproof remote, but they are not sold to the DIY efoil builder community.

A waterproof remote control for surfboards will be a game changer for the watersports industry to help electric surfboard, jetsurf and efoil surfboard companies use an open source remote and not having to spend $45,000 or more on research, testing, plastic molds, bulk products. orders and a response time of more than 6 months from start to finish.

If this type of product becomes available, it will open the doors to the electric watersports industry, as there are currently no waterproof remote control systems available to the public that come complete with a receiver that allows use with virtually any system. electronic available in the market. It doesn’t matter if you have an electric skateboard, electric wakeboard, electric surfboard or efoil. A universal remote will work with all devices, which means you only need one!
