We keep dreaming of an endless summer and today, the All Star Jetboard Testing Tour is back to Spain in Benidorm with our Business member Jet Board Limited and Official contributor Jetsurfing Nation to meet with the eSurf team. Three amazing guys — Danny Tao, Clarbi Lu, and Peter Pan — came in person from China to meet us, represent their brand and show their product.

CONCEPT AND COMPARISON WITH OTHER BOARDS
eSurf is an entry level, recreational, fun and easy family electric inflatable jetboard. Its concept is close to the Lampuga Air (no longer available on the market). The eSurf is one of the most affordable jetboards available with a price around 3000.00$ while most other jetboards can reach $15.000Idea is close to Lampuga Air but the board is much lighter (26kg, while Lampuga Air is close to 32kg), easy to use and to carry around; it fits in any car and you can take it everywhere you want; It is much cheaper than the Lampuga Air but also less powerful.The main difference is that the eSurf is a one-piece jetboard, unlike the Lampuga Air made of 2 units (Inflatable hull + Battery Pack).The power delivered is closer to the Onean Carver; We improvised a short contest for fun between both jetboards to have a better idea, and the Carver won from a short distance.
ESURF BRAND AND COMPANY
As a sub-brand of ePropulsion which is an innovative company specialising in marine electric propulsion systems, eSurf focuses on designing and manufacturing electric surfboards for watersports lovers who have no easy access to waves. As the first electric surfboard model under eSurf powered by lithium battery, eSurf S1 brings a surfing experience on flat waters without any emission. Placing user experience as a priority, the board is designed to be foldable and save space and energy.
We just want to make watersports to be easy for everyone, that means have fun, light weight, easy for transportation, easy to control, easy to install, high quality together with a good price. That’s the target that eSurf S1 wants to achieve at beginning of design phase and so far it seems to be realized.

THE EYE OF THE RIDER
It’s not a fast racing board but if you are starting in this sport and don’t have any surfing experience, while looking for a cheap beginner board, this might be a great solution for you.
A lot of great features in this fun and light jetboard with a special mention for the attachable hydrofoil, offering an improved glide to heavier riders and helping them to find their balance and reach a decent speed. As Wayne mentioned, it is relevant to specify that
“The foil here is not designed to lift you up but rather to stabilise the board.”
The hydrofoil is not necessary for riders under 65kg. Also, it is good to say that the eSurf concept is smart enough so you don’t need any tool to set up your inflatable jetboard, not even to add your hydrofoil, you just need to clip it on. We are looking forward to see it on the market and receive some feedback about the product durability.
Inflate and Set up your board in 5 min. thanks to the optional electric pump, rechargeable via the board battery.
According to developers the board can reach up to 25km/h for the lighter people (up to 65kg) and up to 22km/h WITH hydrofoil for heavier people. The battery lasts 20 minutes and you can swap it in seconds.
The jet Unit is integrated to the inflatable body. So you save a lot of time to set up the whole board.
The quick Start User Manuel is very clear and well made.
e-Surf stands for Easy/Electric Surf
