Another thing I didn’t like about Radinn was that battery runtime was an Over the Air upgrade you had to pay for, they did it to save money and effort so that less boards would get shipped in, terrible design idea, your carrying a ton of extra battery weight you dont even utilize it didn’t make sense to me. If I have 30 pounds of batteries I’m using all of it not 30% then have to pay more to use more of it

This is another reason why I prefer building my own board for the price unless I buy the best brand in my opinion of course being Jetsurf. They are dominating and surviving the market for a reason.

Like eveytime, best of the best Mike 👍

Terrible quality of the video - sorry

Hello, the NeptunX company is bankrupt. I remember you tested it too

Thanks for the video! I have a GetFoil and I think that it is a refined product. Very sad about them closing. I just wish that they didn't shut everything down. Keep providing parts and service while you can. Also open up your suppliers list to help us keep these boards going for as long as possible.

Great video. Going quiet has definitely proven to be a reliable sign of problems (easier for me to say in hindsight and now with my own experience with FOIL) In these days where networking and social media are so important, nothing can survive without it. Once upon a time I remember just as many if not more advertisements for FOIL than any other brand. Thise disappeared. Its also very important to set aside your emotional attachments. When you have already invested time, money, etc. into a brand it can be harder to detatch yourself emotionally from the brand and step back and look at things without that bias. It's Increasingly difficult when there are also mixed messages suggesting that R&D was continuing or pushed to next year. But again, realizing these messages are not shared more publicly to excite the brand may be part of the silence. My suspicions were growing toward the end, but those suspicions were appeased and suppressed by attachments, hopes, and some misinformation. I suspect some employees were in the same boat, especially when many dealers were also suprised... But then not surprised when it was officially over. Another brand Ive been curious about for a long time that closed doors was WeFoil. They were a brand out of Hawaii and extremely expensive. Coincidentally they also stopped posting on social media around the same time as a lawsuit from a family who's son was injured (lost his thimb) while riding one of their efoils I too can only speculate. FOIL was "*built* in USA" and only some things were manufactured or assembled in the US. Its important to make that distinction between "made" and "assembled" or "built" in _____. All in all, I've had a magical experience efoiling. I have literally surfed/ flown for thousands and thousands of miles. It's been well worth it and immensely life changing! I hope others can benefit and feel the same. Live Life to the Foilest 🏄‍♂️🪽🤙

Thanks for this recap, Mike Zed. The market needs to clean itself. Good lesson for anyone who wants to launch the next eFoil and Jetboard company.

One could asume that the generally high pricelevels lead to a small consumer market 🤔

Which company produces the best, most reliable e-foil

Great video, thanks for making it. My 2c here as an absolute watersports addict that love foiling in all forms and spend heavily. In most industries you can deliver a product that looks good, is marketed well and succeed. That’s why most companies are marketing companies, not engineering companies. You can’t get away with that here. There is so much engineering and refinement required to make something good. Foils are extremely complex. Reliability is challenging in this environment. Cutting weight and improving usability is paramount. It has to be a really good product that performs well to be fun. I think that is why the companies that succeed have extensive engineering teams mixed with avid Watersports people in leadership.

Cheers Mike, that was very informative, Thanks a bunch Mark

I’m about done building my own electric jetboard since I cant afford jetsurf

Great update I think a lot of us were wondering what happened to all of these new companies that were popping up it seemed every 4 months. I Personally think Jetsurf Titanium DFI with handlebars and Foil assist are the future for water sports. On a side note I did purchase a chinese Jet Surfboard 9 months ago and love it considering I own a real jetsurf plus Foil board that says a lot.

Great lessons for any startups and investors even outside water sports! Thank you Mike!

Awesome, thank you! Great stuff finally to compare all together that currently on the market or cooking ;)

I received comments from Stoke Foiling on this. "A selection of some key changes since you tried it last: New larger motor - more powerful and doesn’t overheat the same way the smaller motor did on you. Updated electronics - designed to not overheat and uses power more efficiently for longer run time. New underboard receiver - great for prone foiling as you only need the nose slightly out of the water to be able to operate the unit. Also brilliant for down winding and wing foiling. New larger XR battery - the website images you may have seen don’t do this battery justice, it’s only 1cm wider, 2cm taller and 4 cm longer but has 50% more battery capacity. The work we did with the CFD analysis means it has only very slightly more drag than our standard “Sport” battery. Great for larger riders or longer down winders. Upgraded our standard “Sport” battery - this now has 211Wh capacity and a new BMS. New Travel battery - 151Wh capacity so that you can take it on airlines. That’s a lot in a year! But there are some more things we are working on releasing soon (please keep this information to yourself): Fast charger - the batteries have been upgraded for fast charging, and the fast charger launch will be coming soon. Improved remote - I know you didn’t really like the shape of our remote to hold in your hand. Later this year we will have a more comfortable option available."

Great overwiev, thank you Mike

Nice video Mike. Do you ever hit underwater objects?

Thanks for the video Mike!. I still prefer the jetboards, and maybe now it would be great the jetboards with handbars. The ELECTRIC JET SKI from JETSURF is a new generation that looks great!. We cant wait for your test! 😊

Thank you Mike, for all your work! I still prefer jetsurf, and maybe the new jetsurf with handle bars is the new way to the jetsurf... I think that the worst point of the jetsurf is the weight. There is a brand that you know (esurf) that is very light and it would be almost perfect, but its not cheap... The price is another important point. This season you should compare the new boards on the market (price, weight, safe or risk points), all of them: jetboards, efoil, boards with handle bars... We cant wait to see it! Keep on doing videos!❤

I see a new upcoming episode, “The Jetboard Strikes Back” !😂 I have seen more foil and foil prop injuries than blunt jetboard injuries, although foil jets and blunter foils can help prevent that.

MotoSurf Phase 3 ushers in the next generation of JetBoards. Factory in USA. Designed to be both “easy to use” and “easy to own” (which currently doesn’t exist). The sport is growing as demonstrated with its inclusion as a permanent sport in the World Games. Engineering a foil board is easy. Engineering a successful jetboard seems near impossible as demonstrated by the ones that couldn’t get it right. The demand is there, the engineering to help grow the sport even bigger will be coming from MotoSurf.

Motosurf is not version 3 of ewave 😂😂😂 it’s made in the USA full new production facility. The only component on the whole board that’s similar is the battery so that people that had an ewave can use their old batteries as spares. Motosurf changes the game. Maybe you should talk to them so you can get informed. 😂😂😂😂 you’ve been out of it for a while. 9 new brands this year alone. Uim new manufacturers counsel, motorized surfing in the world games this year. Recognized by the world Olympic Committee 😂😂😂😂😂 catch up Mike you’re out of touch. It’s ok to enjoy foiling. But don’t pretend to know what’s happening in the world of motorized surfboards. Supercar Blondie just did a video this month on motorized surfing that got over 100M views. Motorized surfing not done. You’re done with motorized surfing. Enjoy your retirement. 🎉

Very cool…👍

Do you still own a JetSurf? Looking forward to Garner and Lundquist's electric Motosurf Phase 3! According to Whoop, I get a much better workout on a Jetsurf compared to a Foildrive! But I don't have nice swells either... Hope you can review Jetsurf Ski!

Thanks Mike, for all the great work!

Hi Mike and congratulations for this channel. In the meantime that new equipment comes out on the market, maybe you could look for and give space to those who have made a DIY project explaining the problems they had and how they overcame them. Maybe with interviews and tests in the water if in your area or remote interviews. Ths is just a suggestion that I hope will inspire you. A big greeting from Italy :)

Inspired by you I'm preparing my foil assist setup, soon I'll find you in baleal :)

Mike, you’ve done an amazing job all these years showing the latest Jetsurf and efoil technology. Great video and keep on riding and making your videos 🙌👍❤️

love this channel and your style! Keep with it! Keep on foiling!

Hey! Are you based in Portugal? Also started to use Foil Drive! Great product!

Can you review XFoil 2 please?

Nice to see you again, maybe you could try the manta Takeoff, it seems a nice product too. I will keep with efoil I just love it too much

Thank you so much for what you are doing for the jet and efoil industry. You are a legend!

Could you maybe compare stoke and foildrive? Stoke is way cheaper and looks easier to install..

Our man is back! Looking forward to more videos ❤

Gen2 seems like a winner in terms of weight. so far Fliteboard only can compare with ultra 2 and nano?

Has there been a comparison between the foil drive and and foil for people who don’t live near a sea with swells to catch, with companies like waydoo amd sifly the prices between exfoliating and foil drive are about the same

What is the motor position?

Thank you so much for sharing such a diverse range for us! A year later, curious if you got the jump now???

Hello, are you still able to use the drone? Because the application seems to be out of service and I have the impression that the PowerVison Company has ceased its activity. Thanks for your help

JetSurf is wayy too expensive!

one wheel still the king

this one video likely killed liftfoils business.. suddenly everyone understands the difference and liftfoils seems like surpassed technology. what an incredible and comprehensive review. nice work! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
