    I own one of these and have been an avid RC Plane enthusiast for years so I ‘m pretty knowledgable about battery/electronic/ composite technology and I can tell you that they ARE worth what they are charging. You need to realize that a battery that size can be quite dangerous and making it safe for the masses is not a trivial or cheap thing. The battery/ motor tech and the composite construction are very well done and frankly, you get what you pay for with this stuff. Go ahead and get the cheaper one if someone makes it but it wont be that much cheaper and then see how you feel when it burns out/ shorts/ quits working/ burns your house down. Quality and innovation costs money, people.

    These boards would be great for renting! I would rent it for an our once a month but even if i had money i wouldn’t buy one because on a constant basis it can be boring just endlessly flying on the water! I would invest in a good SUP and kiteboarding equipment - it’s sporty and challenging! The fact that these electric foils are good for beginners even more justify renting business rather than selling!

    They’ll get $12000 for it as long as they have rich people buying them. Once they scale up production the price will drop as more units are built. It’s basic business when you have a new product

      @@JeffWarrenAnderson , the honest, as well as harsh, truth is that taxes, insurance, stocks, all forms of currency, and financial wealth are all nothing but a whole bunch of artificial constructs that have been both made, as well as maintained, by a group of super sneaky, slick, powerful, and evil Luciferian globalist elites that have literally bred themselves into positions of power, as well as were the first ironically moronic individuals to have gave value to things like paper money, coins, precious gemstones, precious metals, sea shells, sand dollars, crypto-currencies, credit/debit cards, computer chips, and, yes, even bartered items. Stocks, taxes all types of bonds, other currency matters, and insurance, regardless of them being enforced by governments, including even Anarchists, corporations, special interest groups, terrorist groups, religious groups, including Atheists and their related ilk, /or criminal syndicates/organizations/families/etc., are also scams that hide under the color of law, thus since they are artificial constructs that fluctuate in power, they cannot serve as the backbone to a truly powerful and advanced society, and they also serve the purpose of Lucifer, and said items ultimately, as well as ironically, have as much worth as the money in a game of Monopoly or Life.
      The bottom line is one person (@Visionery1) fails to quit being a whiny moron about why they cannot make it in this world (poor planning, as well as a lack of proper financial planning, an ability to make a steady, consistent, and reliable source of income that can maintain a safe level of living, and not having a good and profitable idea that can truly change the world, are your real reasons on why you remain poor in your life), and the other person, namely yourself, is completely unrealistic and naive about how money, as well as its related ilk, not only all operate, but why they all even exist in the first place. You both are wrong.
