Finally got around to watching this! So much fun! Looking forwards to seeing part 3!
My Silver Surfer video drops tomorrow -- I cheated though, mostly pre-purchased parts/system! It's so much fun. Wish we could race!
haha was about to link your video to Simon ! :D as soon as a i saw your video i thought about simon (BTW Simon this is the video the hacksmith is talking about: ruclips.net/video/N9LSXC0B61s/видео.html )
I love your videos! Look in your comments, You’ll see me in there

Incredible. I'm speachless.
Next step: hydrofoils
eFoil would be great!
With those new motors, it should fly damn near fly without foils 😅
Awesome engineering. To think these go for 18k usd! +1 for hydrofoils!
+1 for hydrofoil! Was thinking same! :)
@@NN1Ckl. The problem is keeping the intakes in the water.
A cool project would be making a drone to do waterskiing with
lol thats been done with a helicopter
waterskiing requires allot of speed , would be very difficult to get a drone to pull someone with that much momentum to overcome the drag of the water
Rctestflight did that. Search drone surfing!
yah and a drone that would pull some one would be over 55 lbs it wouldn't be a drone anymore that would be narly tho
lit wolf look it up
Love this and love your tenacity, so easy to throw the towel in on projects when you have sunk pots of cash in to them and they still dont work, well done young man you are an inspiration to us all, thank you.
If there is one thing I've learned, its to never total up how much you've spent on a project!
Awesome project, great video as usual.
Yeah the project is fun until you realize how much u actually spend on it.... Sometimes it's Beter just to have fun with it instead of wanting to know what that fun costs
He didn't spend a dime.
As someone who has learned first hand through all of these kind of expensive problems in my own projects, respect!
Riding that thing looked sweet as f*ck. Hope you get some sort of sponsoring for future projects in the form of RC parts.
Dude is SICK! And serious. Not just building to his heart, but doing so in shorts in 50-60 degree weather! And an awesome build too! Thx for info!
Absolutely love you're vids,you are the reason i want to get started with 3D printing and designing
Yea but 3D printing is not everything
I hope this isnt taken the wrong way... but I dont understand how anyone who watches him dosnt have a 3d printer yet. A good starter printer can be had for pretty cheap, and they are super easy to use.
The only bad thing with 3d printing is it is a slippery slope. One printer quickly becomes two, then before you know it you have a small print farm. When the magic is gone from the small print farm you start eyeing the expensive toys, a cnc router. haha
@ Jon , with 7! 3d printers in his basement! (And I have one also:)) I think he went past us a long time ago. The cost for this project is more in the hardware. And that blows my minde a bit. So.. without funding. Im just a watcher ....( and a fan!) and realy imprest about his fundings.
Jon yeah,i really wish i could buy my own but I'm still in school so getting the funds for one is a little difficult 😄
@@tiaan1587 You could start drawing and designig stuff....That learning curf is way harder than buying and opperating a 3d printer! And we need more designers! Just a hint. ;)
so the middle fin is pretty important, otherwise its way easier to catch an edge and flip, and that could be an issue, because the other thing that would help the speed would be standing a bit more forward on the board so it sits flatter in the water. it might be slightly less stable, but you'll need way less power to go fast
06:07 - 06:27 I think he does not know the meaning of "Simp" xD
all simps pee their pants... what do you mean?? XD
Does he mean to say 'Wimp'?
...
Haha yeah I laughed when he said that
'Simp' has been an abbreviation for 'simpleton' for over 200 years.
I am quite impressed as I’ve been a jet propulsion fan ,rider, and owner since the late 1970s upgrading and buying new machines untill the late 1990s
3000 dollars?? Jetsurf starts at 10 000 EURO’S so.... good job having the same fun and the satisfaction of building it yourself and saving over 7000 dollars
10k € is about 11 800$, so he saved even more than that. That is, if you don't count all the failed and broken components lol
Paulo De Oliveira, are you dumb? or just stupid?
The thing is my budget gets really thin at something over 200€... Also if I see equal finished/commercial builds (of whatever) for a way higher price, I ask myself why I would even want that. Like I wouldn't have bought it anyways. Building it is a whole other story.
Anyway, to sum it up: Building stuff is way fun, summing up the cost isn't.
Paulo De Oliveira hahaha😂 i am dieing laughing. This says so much about you ow my god!! I feel sorry for you man. Really sorry!!! LOL
@@paulodeoliveira3368 that's a pretty dick way of saying that it costs a lot more money than you'd think to take something like this and make it into a commercial product.
For others, if the BOM cost of this is $3k, then COGS (cost of good sold) will be higher, then for retail price multiply all that by at least 2.5.
This thing looks so much fun! I want one also!
About the waterproofing, you will need a proper gasket to achieve it! If possible, you can redesign the box part with a channel for an o-ring that is compressed by the lid. You can embed the acrylic in the lid to retain the transparent look while having a better fit.
And as a last tip, you should really check if the box is watertight before assembling it, 3D printed items are quite often water permeable.
Good and I wish you a successful party 3!
motors heat up, expand air in motor box, air escapes motor box, air cools down and creates a vacuum in motor box. sucks in any water surrounding it where it is not air tight. You need a positive pressure inside the motorbox somehow. keeps the water out.
Great point.
Plus what is very very visible,it's the amount of spray that motors and props produce. I think water gets in from the top not the bottom of the boxes. An aluminium complete sealed box, seated lower then the water line could solve the problem. It could desperd extra heat ,plus both props working both under water line would have better thrust,since moving hi flow water into water produces way more opposite thrust
With this, you could use a semi inflated balloon connected to the sealed box, the balloon can inflate and deflate and still keep water tight
@@ben150785 What about heat sinks and epoxy?
Wow man I have been building my own diy electric mountain board for the last 2 year.. and been riding electric mountain boards for the last 8 years.. progressed from lead acid to lithium and this is going to be the next stage of my riding.. you have changed my life and can't wait to start this next project.. thank you so much for making this video wow...
House everything in a pvc pipe and seal both ends with threaded caps. Also check out plasti dip, there are videos around teaching how to waterproof battery and electronic with plasti dip.
Applying conformal coating on the exposed electronic boards and everything will also help.
Love your 'wake' board. Thanks for the ride.
Build a Electric Hydrofoil man! THIS THING LOOKS INSANE!!!
You’re doing so much awesome engineering and I hope a ton of people will support it. I wish I could make stuff like this.
Absolutely insanely sick , coolest thing I've ever seen. Worth every penny bro
Pure Adrenalin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, well dude, well done, your enthusiasm while riding is so contagious, hehehehehehehe loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [From Sydney Australia]
The most impressive part of this entire video isn’t the electric surfboard. It’s that you can get up on it and balance while holding the controller and GoPro stick going fast as *uck. I can’t chew bubble gum and walks at the same time
I love your all videos excellent and very informative I seen your all video I love you bro 💓💓💓 I M AN INDIAN RUclipsR 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
You need to look into conformal coating and corrosion x for waterproofing along with other methods. Stop wasting time with (NON)water-proof boxes. Especially on a quad where weight is life.
Good job! To test your electrical box from water try submerging it in water to identify and correct leaks.
You know that the video is going to be Epic when you get Montage 1 minute in the video
Been watching you go through the trial and error stages putting this bad boy together. CONGRATS on finally getting that baby up and running successfully!! Keep up the excellent work!!
Awesome! Keep dreaming and keep surfing.
For the first part you defined me
Keep dreaming
The second part you lost me
Keep surfing
It's so much fun watching your channel.
for the transmitter use mg chemicals conformal coating we use it on drones to waterproof them it should work
That looks so fun. Props for putting the real content at the beginning of the video and not click baiting us into a long drawn-out video with 5 seconds of riding at the end.
Have you thought about dismantling the controller and covering the PCB in conformal coating or varnish? It's not designed to fully waterproof something but it would definitely be beneficial
What a great summer project. Maybe you could put a bilge pump in with the electronics. Damn thing is so fast it pulled the hair right off your face. Big smiles proudly showing off those noticeably straighter teeth!
Listen, i know it sounds weird. In the Army we used condoms to make some electronic equipment dust and water proof. And it worked almost every time.
Been watching Youngsters Jets since he started. Glad to see someone put them to use. Nice Job!!
Hey mate dunno if you’re going to see this but you want to get a maytech waterproof remote that’re made for e-foils.
those mini 2.4s are great for esk8 but knowing their internals won’t last long in water. Cheers.
Maytech is not good at all. Probably lasts for 1 month after usage. Poor quality. Just read about it on efoil.builders
Great job dude, this is the first DIY board that I’ve seen that actually moves!
I'm going to rethink my life decision.....Priceless. Laughed so hard.
50mph is fast as!!! Jetskis hit that and its amazing. Dude your on the future track keep ripping
@Pandacat 666 I understand. I have a 550 2 stroke that will do 36mph. Very impressive to see an electric board do the same. Also have a race ski 800 2 stroke that will do 53mph.
You need to switching to small EV electronics, hobby electronics are not for the things you do.
Most important one is to switch to VESC.
i dont think a vesc is that more expensive than 2 high en hobby esc's tbh, def worth it!
A vesc would be really good. Especially the vesc 6
I dont know what yall are talking But I agree
Great! Looks awesome!
For waterproofing the box, rubber is your friend. glue some sheets(neoprene) around the edges of the lid so when you close it the rubber gets squeezed between the lid and the box.
That should almost guarantee a waterproof container or you could design the edges to have a ''tongue and groove'' system, that also keeps most of the water out. if you combine those 2 its should be impenetrable..
Couplers, one of the most beautiful things on the planet earth
Probably one of my all time favourite RUclips videos. You looked so happy and the board is awesome. Can't wait for part 3.
You should make this a product, so people can attach to surfboards.
its similar things out like this not exactly but pretty close
@@davidgray7907 where please tell me
Simon, the absolute best way to waterproof electronics is MG chemicals silicone conformal coating. Paints right on to the pcb and can subsequently be submerged, no epoxy, hassle to make waterproof casings. Use it on all my quads like many do.
Now make a drone that strong enough to hold you up
Use that flex shot, flex tape or get a can of flex seal and put a couple of layers on the inside of the box to make it be water proof. Oh yeah, use lexan to build both boxes(battery housing and electric housing) and then use clamps and seals to make the lid water proof. For the controller take it apart and use flex seal to make it water proof. Or you can use sliacone to make every thing water proof. But remember if you drill a hole or put a screw or bolt in make sure you seal up around them. You seem like a smart guy and this is the first video I've watched of yours. I hope some of this helps ya out. I've had to make alot of stuff water proof.
F*ck yes, finally!! been waiting on this!!! good shit :)
Dude.. way to go! Don't give up!
The flat bottom of the board is going to be inherently unstable once it gets up on the plane.. you could try attaching a small rib or two along the length on the bottom.. basically without a v shaped hull or some kind of linear feature for it to track with, it's gonna walk around like that.. but that also adds to the fun, right? 😉👍
This is epic!
Next step: Drone surfing - like kite surfing, but with a drone instead of a kite :-p
Nicely done. I'm a former surfboard shaper living on the north shore of Oahu. Shape of the board is everything. I don't mind your externally mounted hardware because all of the professional jet boards I see compromise the overall shape of the board by trying to hide it internally. Turning is key. A lot of videos only show the craft going straight and at full speed. The board needs to be able to turn and be fun to ride even at slower speeds. Once you get it ironed out then move to a solid fiberglass board with an even better shape. keep pushing.
Wonderful job mate... i made a tutorial on how make a water board with a trolling motor and a plastic board 😂
Pretty amazing. Also he's filming himself and controlling throttle with the other hand. Good on ya.
An easy and cheap way to waterproof: instead of sealing the entire box just put silicone sealant on the electronics, (ie open the motor controller and fill it with sealant Botha sides of the circuit
1. not silicone but epoxy
2. it would get way too hot
As a surfer this made me smile way more than other boards. Nice job!
I know he is scared in the beginning of the video because he can't even English
Can you??? LOL
🤣
@@Noah_Bisch thats the joke
When your so scared you start screaming in your native language
What can be better than more Simon video
You should make your own RC Receiver/transmitter. I recently built my own, using a ESP32 microcontroller and 3D printed housing. Otherwise, great video :)
I’m all about the Captain’s Hat 1:40...That little detail is glorious.
This kit needs to be put into a backpack or something, and some weird looking jetski-boots.
your comedic timing is brilliant.....
6:25 “simp”????? Lol
I really enjoy your vids you take on some very difficult and fun projects.
Well I started watching looking for ideas for a project I'm working on, but after I watched parts 1-3 I said funk it and subscribed. Fun and interesting channel.
Such a cool project! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking as well. What a beautiful part of the world!
You are a very talented and ambitious guy, whatever you do don’t quite and you will go very far.
You keep me inspire !!! Love your proyects
nice! lets hope youtube's gonna feed me part 3 ♥
you COULD also add a PUMP that removes water from your engine box. all ships have such a pump, you could a a tiny pump as well, should solve most of your problems there....
Thats very cool!! Nothing like putting together something and having it work as planned!! Love it!!
First off, what a fantastic idea. As for your leakage problem you might try some silicone caulk. Just coat any surface you don't want it to stick to with a light grease and it should make a nice sealing surface. You might also want to check and see if the hydro jet assembly has O ring seals around the drive shaft. If not you can 3D print a new one that includes a space for O rings and an end cap that you can remove in case you need to replace the O rings in the future as they do wear out over time. A little silicon grease on the drive shaft and they should move pretty freely and seal nicely too. Great stuff man, I love the channel so far. Keep it up!
Nice result. I like to be very thoughtful when waterproofing.
A technique you can use is adding positive pressure also you could use the water build up as the switch. This is a band aid option that would still make sense as a backup when your FINAL setup is going. Another thing you could try is a substance that will make expansion when in contact with moisture. Good luck.
1 more idea. Before going on the water test box with negative pressure or positive but be very careful. After seal box and dry add more sealant and then add vacuum ;)
selfie stick is invisible !! and surf is awsome i want it too !
I follow your videos for more than a year now and this is the most exciting for me... I'm from Puerto Rico in the Caribbean also a surfer, you should move a lil more to the front of the board and make shure your feets are also in the line a cross the board, i think the rear of the board is sinking way to much and that help the water rush in to your electronics, also I search the hole internet for someone with a diy video on how to build a electric wake winch and there's none, maybe you have the experience to make that video (more views for you)... Looking forward to the 3rd part of this project
cool project! for water in the motor box just put a one-way scrubber valve-like aftermarket custom jet skies use
Keep water out by using positive air pressure. Put a bicycle valve into the box and pressurize. Check after an hour and if it’s still the same pressure, it will keep the water out. Also, make it easier and have one box for all equipment including batteries. Get a 100% waterproof silicone gasketed box.
Nice project! Congratulations! Greetings from Brazil!
Waterproofing the transmitter! There was a coating you could paint, dip in the electronics. To repair you'd have to melt but it seals out water on the electronics. I think it was called conforma coating
Conformal coating it's a 3m product I think loctite
One of your best videos, keep up the work!
That is so cool. I want one. Great video, thanks for sharing.
That looks like so much fun!
Tjenere RCLife, bra jobbet at vik surfing haha. A lot of people are mentioning bigger fins, more fins, middle fins, and moving further forward to be flatter and reduce drag....speaking as a surfer- the further forward you stand, the less turning control you will have. Those side fins would usually be directly below or in forward of you back foot when surfing. Adding a middle fin on your board might interfere with the water intake for your propellers, so you probably want to look for "twin fin" style fins to replace your existing side fins. These fins have a longer base (more surface area) to substitute having no centre fin in surfboards. Alternatively you can also add two more side fins to make a 'quad fin' set up. These could go on closer to the rail forward of the current fins, or closer to the centre of the board if placed rear of the current fins. Remember that fins are activated by where your body weight is. If you place fins under your engine you will not have much weight on them and they will not 'grip' the water as much as placing them further forward. In that case they would need to be much longer if placed under the engine, where as another set of smaller fins under your back foot would achieve a similar stabilising effect.
If you put a couple fins on the bottom near the back similar to a surfboard when you stand up or hit choppy water it will prevent the board from wanting to slip left or right from underneath you.
Best. Project. Ever. Thanks for showing us the way. If I see you by the side of the road, I'll definitely drop a quarter in your cup! LOL
This is awesome!!! You should make an electric hydrofoil board next!
Dude u MIGHT just b the coolest thing on you tube right now....
Just fer s and g's, how about maybe a handle bar like on a microskiff? You could mount throttle transmitter on it too. Keep it high up outta the H2O.
U rock dude! Keep it ☝
LOOKS LIKE THE COOLEST THING EVER
For the water-proofing issue be sure to use some conformal coating on the circuitry! I bet it would even waterproof your transmitter if you did it meticulously!
You are my freakin hero! I wish i was as creative as you. Keep doing what you are doing. You are going to be hugely successful!!!
Hey man great videos. It's like my 10th time watching this episode. I can't wait for the upcoming update. I am checking everyday for part 3, come on man keep up the great work. RESPECT.
Exceptional creation!!! GENIUS!
I had a surf-jet board back in early 90s ,,had a 8 hp inboard jet drive,,,I still have dreams of riding it .
For waterproofing the transmitter, one thing that I have often seen done is opening up the controller and coating the electronics in Epoxy. Things still work fine and no water gets in!
Yes, your vids are very enjoyable. I look forward to seeing them every week.
SSS Motors and Flier ESC - best Combi ever! I build a MHZ Cobra with SSS Motor 56104 800KV and 320A Flier with 2P10S SLS Quantum 5Ah. Its going 116km/h.
Look at how jet ski pumps work. You should be able to use the flow of the water through the impellers to bilge the inside of our box. Couple it with a 1 way valve to make sure water doesn't come in when it's not running.
Amazing project bro im here in this channel for almost 3 years that's one of the coolest project in here . I wish u have more wievers
My jaw dropped at the speed, what an epic project. Can't wait for part 3!!
I am your big fan from India, please increase frequency of your videos because I am really excited for them.
This is epic. You might want to consider adding a wrist strap to the transmitter. Cheers!
