Another con is the big cord hanging out in the water. They should have a few clips that you can stick to the bottom of the board that you can clip the cord into. Keep it tight to the board and reduce drag.. however I agree with the other comments that this set up is a pretty good deal at €599. I’ve built several jet boards and parts alone are well over $1000 without the board. So kudos to aqua marina for getting a quality product out there for $650. Trust me that’s cheap.
Hah, if you're a WW kayaker like me you'd LOVE to be able to buy a good boat for around $750. WW hard shell kayaks here are going for $1200 or more these days.
On the drive section on the bottom of the plastic shell I saw some bolts. Take them off drill some holes on metal plates and reattach the bolts to protect the plastic casing. Put some mesh over the intakes to eliminate weed.
As a sup fisherman I would prefer to use a sealed agm battery with 35 amp hours. For all day use as 2 hours per lithium pack is to small! Even 2 packs at 4 hrs is risky. I fish some very large inland reservoirs. Whith strong afternoon winds. This type of battery can be charged from vehicles alternator or a household battery charger. At 12v dc
Great comment and thoughts Phillip. I guess its all about your personal conditions and locations. It would be so nice to be able to get 4 hrs out of one charge. thanks Reuben
I live next to the Waikato River in NZ this would really open up much more variation for me as I could then start my paddle with say an hour down river towards Port Waikato without assistance and then turn around and put it on full power coming back against the current. I would never dream of doing that now as you can get really caught out trying that with a paddle alone.
Yeah this will open up a lot of possibilities for people. Obviously you always want to make sure your equipment is in top condition and the battery is fully charged when going on any mini mission. Have fun I know the Waikato River would be amazing for it. You live in an epic country , Thanks Reuben
Did it occur to anyone to stick it in a foil board to help start flying and it off when on air? that would help in SUP surf and even Wing surf on low wind.?
That kill cable looks awfully short, it's already very stretched on the short board in the demonstration. Probably wouldn't work with a 14 or 18 feet board? But we really need something with more power. :)
Once again Donna you have raised a good point. Easy to lengthen though. But if the board was not so wide (this one is massive) you could place the battery unit further along the board, so it wouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼 , Reuben
Hey Daivd, I have looked back through my GeoSUP log and during my SUP fishing session with it I did 3.85miles over 1h:36mins. Sorry I thought that infom was on the video. But guess not. Hope that helps? Thanks Reuben
Unfortunately you would have to charge it using an inverter (which you would have to buy) to your 12V socket if you would want to use your car as it is only supplied with a mains three pin socket. hope that makes sense? Thanks Reuben
Hi guys, love the channel and videos are great and super informative. What's the possibility of doing a touring board comparison video with the current popular touring boards for sale? I'm on a few groups on social media, and it's seems to be a common question with there being alot of new paddlers this year who discover touring is for them. Cheers again and all the best.

Are you after a hard or iSUP board? Thanks Reuben
Hi I have a SIC hard board. There are no screws to hold the fin in place. You wack the fun up and slide it out to remove. I’m assuming that is a US box fin system? Is there more drag just paddling with the motor attached? Thanks in advance, Brent
Yes it seems to be a US fin box. You have a fin without screws (possible an FCS screwless fin?). And yes, there would be more drag when paddling with the motor attached. Thanks, Beau
hi, I'm looking for an adapter like you showed in the video to see if I can mount it on a Tahe board, in particular the rigid Beach 10.0. Can you also send me a link to the aquamarina site or the name of the article? Thank you

looks like I can buy just the motor without battery from Aliexpress. Thinking of doing this because I want to use on kayak and need a much larger battery. I''d have to rig up my own battery box, which should work, but to switch speeds looks like the remote is needed. Is there any manual switch for the two power levels?
Do you think you could do any pivot turns and surf a bit of lake waves with this fin? I was thinking I could just use the electric motor only when I was tired and needed to get back to the dock.
how long does the battery life last In a low setting? I am thinking of buying to just assist in long 4-5hr paddles. I would like to place it in lowest setting, while I also paddle to increase my range. thanks
Hey Martin I couldn't get much more out of it then 1hr 30mins. But if you are using it with a narrower board in lighter winds and no current Im sure the time could be a bit longer. Thanks Reuben
I need help. Mine keeps switching of after 3 seconds when in the water, while it doesn't switch of out of the water. Does anybody have any ideas what I did wrong?
Hi Lawrence. TBH Im not 100% sure it will fit, the fin box is very similar in look but I thought the alignment of the clip isn't in the same place. But maybe Mark has tried it? I will have a dig around and see if we have any itiwit boards i can try it on for you. Thanks Reuben
I have the both aquamarina and itiwit boards. I have used the same fin on both boards. not sure if I used the itiwit fin on the aq board or the aq fin on the itiwit board.... give me a day and few days to confirm they fit both ways.
so, Itiwit fins fit in AQ boards, but aqua marina fins don't fit in Itiwit boards. It feels as though the fin can be force in.... it seems to be a few hairs wider. i'm sure sandpaper can do the trick.
Hi I am learning to surf, I want to practise popping up (without waves). Will the blue drive push me fast enough to pop up, as I say no waves just flat water like what is in your video Board is a 9,2. Thanks in advance.
I was just going to take the unit apart and take the battery's details and size on do some internet searches for a replacement. I haven't done it but yet tho. Haven't needed too. Thanks Reuben
I ordered the fin, but you know if you can put it on my Sup brand Hydro-Force??, because on my Sup the rail has not The slot to insert the security Thank you
It does depend which model you have. If you have a US centre fin box, you can buy the adapter to fit. We don't think Freeing use a slot in fin box on some of their models, so it wouldn't fit. Hope this helps. Beau

Did it occur to anyone to stick it in a foil board to help start flying and it off when on air? that would help in SUP surf and even Wing surf on low wind.?
Yeah its being done with foil boards now. But they cost a lot of money. But having a small one to get going like you say would be good.
That kill cable looks awfully short, it's already very stretched on the short board in the demonstration. Probably wouldn't work with a 14 or 18 feet board?
