Ever wondered what's inside the Boost fin?
Watch our CTO and co-founder Alex manually assembling a prototype of the Boost fin from 3D printed parts! A lot of testing and changes have been made since then and the mass production of the brand new Boost fins is starting soon!
And who said you can't attach 3 fins on a board? Alex did exactly that, check it out!

Can the production version have the battery and pcb cover unscrewed like the prototype?
It's pretty much the same in the current version
This gives new meaning to a thruster setup
For surfing just 1 fin is enough. But for cruising on a SUP - why not
The fan wasnt moving underwater..... what test was that for?
Hi there! We showed you what's inside the boost. On the 5.30 timeframe, it is clearly visible how the propeller moves in the water 😉
Finally after 3years of waiting, it came today. Do you lived in Bali ?
Hi there! We stocked to hear it. No, we're not living in Bali, we are based in US, SoCal.
Great idea. I may have missed it but how do you recharge the battery? Cheers from Miami
Hi there! Thanks for your interest in our product;)
You charge it just like any of your electronic devices, using a wired charger. We provide a custom 100-240V wall charger and it takes about 2 hours to fully charge the battery. Plus you don't even need to take the Boost Fin off the board. 🤙🏽
2 questions. 1) Do u have a patent on this? 2) Was that a Roland Cymbal I saw you using parts from? Thx! Art-n-Kiko. Oh yea….and How hard would it be to boost the speeds on your idea? U ARE using Lipo batteries no?
1) yes 2) elaborate please
You can adjust the boost speed and power in the app before going in the water. Li-ion
will there be a version 2 where we can replace batteries, I can definitely see myself using this to the point where the battery won't hold a charge so having a cheap and easy replacement or modular approach would make buying this a worthy investment rather than a product i use for a couple months and chuck in the garage because it stopped working
Hi Rick! Yes, the second version of the fin will be with a removable (replace) battery🤙
How does the salt water stay out of the motor? Don't you have issues with corrosion of the charging jack and motor?
Each part and component exposed to saltwater are salt fog endurance resistant and certified for saltwater operation. All plugs, connectors, and other electrical contacted surfaces are covered with rubber plugs to prevent them from water.
Seawater can enter the charger port without any damage - there's a diode that essentially acts as a one-way switch for current. It allows current to flow easily in one direction, but severely restricts current from flowing in the opposite direction
I have one on pre order. But am interested how the signal works to the controller when the receiver is under water? I have a lift Foil, but the signal only works when the receiver is out of the water. A lot of people will buy these for down wind foiling!
That's true, radio waves die very rapidly when they travel through electrical conductors like saltwater. However it's not a problem in our case since the fin is not submerged deep enough in the water.
Awesome 👍🚀
Thanks 🤙🤙
boostsurf how long will the battery last
There are 2 modes - long boosts for paddling out and short boosts for catching waves. By default, it’s set to 8 and 20 secs accordingly but that can be easily adjusted in the mobile app, as well as the power output. One fully-charged battery provides 120 short boosts at full power which in our experience is enough for 1.5-2 hour sessions.
With optimal configuration you can get even more out of it. Most times 4-5 second boost is enough to get on a wave, same for the long boosts depending on the spot. And you can also slightly reduce the power output. So different setups result in a different runtime and you can always find the optimal way to use it.
Can you tell me what motor you used and the price please? You inspired me to envent something but it doesn’t need the fin. I just need the motor.
it's a brushless motor. The price is $249 ($100 off)
I really need this....are you in Bali???
You can preorder online with a $100 discount and receive it in July
Can you sync a triple set up?
One fin can be paired with 2 remotes, meanwhile single remote can be paired with many fins at the same time. So the answer is yes. But is it worth it? In our opinion, only for cruising on a SUP or kayak. For surfing - just 1 is enough.
Can you tell me what motor you are using? I would like to build a similar thing for my surfboard, but I can't find any waterproof motor rated around 1000 W, only the really powerful ones for efoils.
haha that is the secret of our CTO 😜
@@boostsurfing ahahah fair enough! I must say, I love your system. Especially the fact that you can bring it on holiday with you and attach it to a rental surfboard. If I order it now, when would it be shipped?
Thanks! We have 10000 orders to fulfill so preorders placed today are estimated to ship late in December
Awesome ^^*👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thanks!
Thanks man! )
What is the Kv on the motor?
300

Thanks. It must give a pretty strong boost.
yup 😎 🤙🏻
Horrible music .no narrative
