——————————————————————————
Let's look at the types first!
There are three main types of electric surfboards at present
Oil-powered boards, electric boards, and hydrofoil boards
Each of them represents a different driving method, each with its own advantages and disadvantages
1: Classic oil version, more professional, more troublesome
Before lithium batteries were miniaturized, oil-powered vehicles were the absolute mainstream, driven by small engines.
The engine has its own natural disadvantages.
The engine is noisy, needs to be preheated, has high refueling costs, and is troublesome to maintain. It is not recommended for new players.
But for professional racing players, these can be ignored.
The oil version is more suitable for professional racing players and is not friendly to novice players
2: Electric version, more exciting and easy to maintain
Electric surfboard, with electric quietness, maintenance, acceleration, etc.
Can be combined with traditional surfing to play many tricks
What the oil board can do, the electric board can do, and the experience is better, but the battery life of the electric board is basically within 60 minutes.
But you have to know that one hour of water sports consumes a lot of physical energy. After a long time, let alone the board, we can't bear it.
There are many ways to play, including skateboarding, surfing, and racing.
It also overcomes the defects of the oil version.
Suitable for new players.
3: Hydrofoil electric board, more soothing, easy to knock
The battery drives the motor to operate, and the Bernoulli principle is used to lift the board above the water surface.
ps: It is the same as the lift-off of an airplane, which is mainly achieved by the underwater hydrofoil structure.
The advantage is that it can float on the water, just like Harry Potter flying
The disadvantage is that it can only float on the water, just like Harry Potter flying
The biggest advantage of the hydrofoil drive is that it saves power and can last up to 90 minutes, which is a huge difference compared to the 40-60 minutes of the oil and electric versions!
However, the underwater wings are prone to bugs when used.
On the one hand, they will bump against each other in shallow water areas.
On the other hand, they are also prone to scratches when falling into the water.
Therefore, playing with the hydrofoil version requires deeper water and taking protective measures
The experience of flying on a hydrofoil board is brand new, but the gameplay is monotonous and the playability is weak
So many players reported that the hydrofoil board was covered with dust after playing a few times
It is recommended to go to the water park and rent it for a few hours to play, mainly for experience
It is not recommended to buy it for the sake of trying it out. If you really like it after the experience, it is not too late to buy it again
