Electric Surfboard

The Water Can Be Deep Enough and Still Be Wrong for a Jetboard

A jetboard can need less depth than an eFoil and still be the wrong machine for the water in front of you. The hidden question is not only whether the hull floats above the bottom. It is what the intake sees while you leave shore: loose sand, weed tops, shells, fishing line, storm debris, or a clean
