At least they are silent. The new Chinese ones "supposedly" last over an hour, range of 24km and top speed of 40km/h.
Once you are on an open swell or wave you wouldn't even need the motor.
You got it all wrong
Regardless. It's gonna happen.
But I do think they will get HEAVILY regulated, banned from certain areas.
Fine on a Windsurfer, Kiteboard, SUP or small yacht, but once you add the POWA!
Maybe a battery boost is what we need to leave the breaks. If the Specs are right you could travel from Rottnest to the mainland on 1 charge in glass. Or wait for the seabreeze and barely use the battery.
We will see...
You would be buggered if it broke down on you a long way from home especially if you are out on the open water
I have visions of many people commuting, drybag in a backpack, 20km down the Parramatta River from Rydalmere to those strange stairs under the Sydney Harbour Bridge at Dawes Point. Will there be a service centre at Circular Quay?
Will the eFoil be a reality?
Kudos to the calming music, the type of tunes I chill to when stuff is going right outdoors.
Could be interesting for long point breaks where you ride 50m out on the shoulder, but I have enough stuff alleady seriously dont need more gadgets
Wow, I knew Miami was a candidate for reclamation by nature (as is most of Florida) but that drone footage really highlighted just how low it is.
A little bit of sea-level rise and it will be a new Atlantis. Things always happen quicker than you think. This is the 2008 Olympic BMX track finish line 10 years later.
But those eFoils do look cool. When I was staying at Halls Head it was a 10-11 Km round trip to the Marine Chandlery by car but only about 150m by water though you wouldn't want to swim channel given the bite'ies and the boat traffic.
