I put one on my JP SUP for surfing. It fun in the flat water and getting out the back but it throws your boards balance off massively and feels like an anchor on a wave. I imagine it would be fun if your straight facing 1 footers but it's no fun going across a wave. You can see it at 8.55sec on the video, she's barely moving across the wave, she should be flying on that wave with a big board.
Thank you 🙏 that 3 boosts is from one of videos on official boostfin channel, i took to show example that it’s possible but they only slightly showed it and didn’t discuss it much. I would assume 3 fins would be pretty fast but harder to turn
used 7 times and the wrist control quit working took apart and water had gotten inside big mess from salt water on battery will try to fix it but is most likely trash. Got a new remote from Boost only took a couple weeks , make sure screws are tight on remote.
Not much information on this product. First review I've seen. Looks like the whole time anyone with the boost fin is surfing a wave they are being held back by the drag of the fin and just barely staying with the wave. And that's with 40% power the whole time? Maybe need 100% just to cancel out the drag once the board is up to speed.
What is that awesome balance board you've got set up in your yard (especially seen at 17:37)? Is that homemade? Are there plans for something like that online?
I already discussed it in this review in the end. I think it’s a bad idea, such board will be too heavy on the back and can go only straight without turning
After waiting 3 years I got my money back 2 years ago and ppl still don't have it. Do an endurance test on the battery I still think this Dimitry is a scam he sold thousands and has delivered one to you.
I have not heard of such idea . They will struggle to waterproof it. Even gopro still can’t get it right, i lose one gopro each season because of water leaks inside
@@JetSurfingNation I scuba dive and feel the waterproofing is there. Also in my custom boat manufacturing business, we had many solutions too. I feel that it is a design failure to not have a solid solution for this. Maybe you can ask them, and if you like I will send some similar waterproofing solutions that could easily work. I wouldn't suggest anything if I didn't think it was an amazing product. Thank you for your response, jeff
What about using it on foil, imagine you put a fin box behind the universal box of the foil, it's like a foil drive cheap version, and it could work for paddling ??
to be honest I don't think it will make any difference. Foildrive is much much more powerful than Boost fin and still it is very difficult to get on a foil with it. Boost will be pretty much useless for foiling in my opinion
The Boostfin looks like an interesting concept. This is my first time seeing it in action. Any surfer would want to experiment with something like this!
Sorry, but this starting with Slater, as if he's associated with this product, is bull. You're either being compensated for this or you're a stooge. There's zero performance qualities shown here, sub par surfing on poor waves, nothing vertical. Show a crowded day at Malibu and hpe the Boost helps or hinders there, not some slop in Portugal.
I think you completely misunderstand the point of boostfin and products like that... They are made for people who are starting out or probably too old, out of shape or injured. Basically for regular people. If you are like Kelly on top of your game surfing a crowded day at Malibu you obviously don't need it. Cheers!

I'm gonna make one that'll go 125k RPM. I'm gonna make to Cuba in 15 minutes from the Keys.
Is the USA really that bad that you are going back to Cuba?
How much you want for it to go 200k rpm. I wanna make it back before the game?
Great review mate! Can you please link the video of the guy with 3 boosted fins? I want to see how well that works and what speeds it's catching 14:27

Your daughter is awesome... Is it for kooks😂

The little girl is great setting up questions.
showing the app how it works???? you think you can do that????? Gee don't give up your day job..
App lets you set the settings and duration and power level of the boost

I don’t feel any drag because the fin keeps going even when you ride, you don’t stop it

It’s from here info@horseradish.cz
@@JetSurfingNation Thanks!
it was worth a long 2 years wait, I hope more users will receive their fins during the next few months!
Can you put 3 of those motorized fins on one board ? it would be faster ...
Yes of course you can
@@JetSurfingNation would you be willing to do a new youtube review with 3 of them on a board maybe ?
I already discussed it in this review in the end. I think it’s a bad idea, such board will be too heavy on the back and can go only straight without turning
@@Beauty.and.FashionPhotographer....now your talking ..💪💪💪
Cute video. I liked it. Good arguments for it. Looks Uber convenient
Very good video... I just bought one of these... I'm excited
After waiting 3 years I got my money back 2 years ago and ppl still don't have it. Do an endurance test on the battery I still think this Dimitry is a scam he sold thousands and has delivered one to you.
Join their facebook group, hundreds of people received the fin already. But yes he is very slow, I agree. but not a scam
Do you know if they are working on a swappable battery?
I have not heard of such idea . They will struggle to waterproof it. Even gopro still can’t get it right, i lose one gopro each season because of water leaks inside

Can you use this on bodyboards?
No because how you attach it
I’m at 2 year still waiting
Вы там по русски ? 😂
Yes
great idea i am surprised nobody made such fin before i need for my SUP!
yeah I hope the battery tech improves
There has been, with a similar design, yet an external battery, but massive range.
Great video Mike, do you know what the price point will be around n when it will be available for sale?
Probably 300-400 usd! Cheers
Thank you

What about using it on foil, imagine you put a fin box behind the universal box of the foil, it's like a foil drive cheap version, and it could work for paddling ??
I don’t think so. It will not work if it’s too deep in the water. The signal will not reach the remote
@@JetSurfingNation Oh but I mean in the board, behind the start of the mast, not in the foil!
to be honest I don't think it will make any difference. Foildrive is much much more powerful than Boost fin and still it is very difficult to get on a foil with it. Boost will be pretty much useless for foiling in my opinion
What is the top speed of it without padding?
Top speed lol. It’s not a jetboard. It just helps you paddle, it barely moves
Will if it barely moves then it can’t make it to 3 km/h!! There are some other electrical propeller for kayaks with 6-8 km/h
Does that mean you can move faster on the surface by swimming with carbon fins
Great video!
Cheers
Hey 👋 I really want a electric jet board but the problem is all I have is 6000$ do you know good boards with 6000$
Not really but you can buy an efoil with 8k like takuma or waydoo
@@JetSurfingNation I would also add the cabratec to that list

Great Mike thanks! How does the Boost Fin impact maneuverability of the surfboard? I would assume that it wont turn as sharply as with a normal fin
Well it’s done for a longboard or SUP. You won’t be doing very sharp turns with them
