 JETFLY ELECTRIC SURFBOARDS FAQ

HOW DO ELECTRIC SURFBOARDS WORK?

An electric surfboard works via a motor that sends water through a nozzle at the back of the board, providing enough thrust to move the board forward. The motor is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack, which has enough capacity to provide a running time of 20 to 65 minutes, depending on your style and various other riding conditions. The electric motor is steered by a hand remote with an easy-to-use thumb throttle that allows the motor to run at your desired speed with complete control.


IS IT DIFFICULT TO RIDE A  ELECTRIC SURFBOARD?

No, electric surfboards are actually very easy to ride! You just need a little practice, which is typical for most water sports activities. Our tip for beginners is to start by lying down flat, which will enable you to get the surf-like feel. Speed and acceleration will always work in your favour as far as stabilization goes  because they’ll help you plane— so once you start going faster, you’ll slowly be able to stand up. Most of our riders can stand up on our electric boards within 30 minutes of trying them for the first time.


CAN I RIDE A JETBOARD IN SALT WATER?

Yes, you can absolutely ride in salt water, but you should always rinse the entire board with fresh water after to remove any salt residue. 


CAN I RIDE AN ELECTRIC SURFBOARD WITH WAVES?

Our JF05 is specifically designed to ride through waves. For our other models, wave and wake-riding is possible and makes the experience more challenging.


WHICH JETBOARD SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Each of our jetboards has their unique advantages.

The JF01 is best used on flat, open bodies of water. This jetboard is perfect for going on long rides exploring the nature around you.

The JF04 is our ultimate, all-purpose product. This jetboard holds the perfect balance between agility and stability, and can slice through slice through waves and choppy waters.

The JF05 takes longer to master for those unfamiliar with board sports, but offers a unique turning style and trick capabilities that seasoned boardsports enthusiasts crave. This jetboard is also great through choppy waters— it is designed to carve through waves and responds readily when riders initiate a turn.


DO I NEED A WETSUIT?

Wetsuits aren’t a requirement to enjoy jetboarding, but they are highly recommended as they keep your body warm while you ride and also offer a degree of protection for your legs, knees, and elbows, which can sometimes get bruised and scuffed as you master standing up. The other benefit of a wetsuit is the buoyancy they offer. If you don’t wear a wetsuit, then a lifejacket is recommended. 

Wetsuit booties are also recommended for riding in colder Northern waters and climates.

If multiple appliances are running on the same fuse, make sure that it can bear an additional 2,000 Watts of energy.

Further details about batteries and charging can be found in our User Guide.


HOW DO I CONTROL MY RIDING SPEED?

Your riding speed is controlled with the wireless hand remote, which allows you to adjust the speed and acceleration rate of your jetboard with smooth and precise control.

HOW FAST DO ELECTRIC SURFBOARDS GO?

The maximum speed registered on our electric surfboards is 41 MPH(65km/h).

 It’s also important to note that the speed can be affected by the rider’s weight, riding style and the weather and battery conditions.


HOW DO I TURN ON MY BOARD?

Always make sure your assembly and battery insertion take place in a dry area.

Carefully insert the battery into the battery compartment and close the handle locks .

Fasten the leash around your ankle securely and connect your board to the hand remote. Next, press the throttle down for a few seconds until the LEDs light up. Once a connection is established, the LEDs will stop flashing.

Proceed to  attach the magnet kill-switch to its cradle at the backside of the board.

You can now take your board into the water to ride.


HOW LONG IS A ELECTRIC SURFBOARD RIDE?

We offer two types of battery range:

Standard, with an estimated ride time of about 30 minutes, and

Extended, with an estimated ride time of about 45-65 minutes. 

Note that riding times will always depend greatly on variables such as riding style, rider weight, the battery pack’s level of charge, and the air and water temperature. If you go at top speed and really explore the performance of the board, you’ll have a shorter riding time. If you cruise at a more moderate speed, you’ll be riding for longer. While these are common factors, they are not a guarantee of effective riding time. 


WATER GOT INTO THE CONNECTOR OF THE BOARD/ THE BATTERY. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Do NOT connect the battery to the board. Instead, allow it to dry for a couple of hours. To prevent this from happening, always make sure you store the board in dry conditions and assemble/disassemble the board away from the water.

The maximum weight for our jetboards  can carry up to 150kg / 330 lbs


WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I FALL OFF THE BOARD WHILE RIDING?

You get only wet! Our boards are designed with a safety strap that velcros around your ankle and attaches to the board via a magnetic kill switch. Should you fall off while riding, the strap will disconnect and the board will turn off automatically. When you reattach the leash, the hand control reconnects to the board will allows you to continue your adventure.


WHAT IS INCLUDED IN MY PURCHASE?

You accelerate by pressing the throttle, and slow down by reducing pressure. To avoid falling while trying to master riding the board, it is important to increase and decrease the throttle gradually.


HOW FAST DO ELECTRIC SURFBOARDS GO?

The maximum speed registered on our electric surfboards is 41 MPH(65km/h).

 It’s also important to note that the speed can be affected by the rider’s weight, riding style and the weather and battery conditions.


HOW DO I TURN ON MY BOARD?

Always make sure your assembly and battery insertion take place in a dry area.

Carefully insert the battery into the battery compartment and close the handle locks .

Fasten the leash around your ankle securely and connect your board to the hand remote. Next, press the throttle down for a few seconds until the LEDs light up. Once a connection is established, the LEDs will stop flashing.

Proceed to  attach the magnet kill-switch to its cradle at the backside of the board.

You can now take your board into the water to ride.


HOW LONG IS A ELECTRIC SURFBOARD RIDE?

We offer two types of battery range:

Standard, with an estimated ride time of about 30 minutes, and

Extended, with an estimated ride time of about 45-65 minutes. 

Note that riding times will always depend greatly on variables such as riding style, rider weight, the battery pack’s level of charge, and the air and water temperature. If you go at top speed and really explore the performance of the board, you’ll have a shorter riding time. If you cruise at a more moderate speed, you’ll be riding for longer. While these are common factors, they are not a guarantee of effective riding time. 


WATER GOT INTO THE CONNECTOR OF THE BOARD/ THE BATTERY. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Do NOT connect the battery to the board. Instead, allow it to dry for a couple of hours. To prevent this from happening, always make sure you store the board in dry conditions and assemble/disassemble the board away from the water.


WHAT ARE THE WEIGHT LIMITS FOR RIDING THE RADINN JETBOARD?

The maximum weight for our jetboards  can carry up to 150kg / 330 lbs


WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I FALL OFF THE BOARD WHILE RIDING?

You get only wet! Our boards are designed with a safety strap that velcros around your ankle and attaches to the board via a magnetic kill switch. Should you fall off while riding, the strap will disconnect and the board will turn off automatically. When you reattach the leash, the hand control reconnects to the board will allows you to continue your adventure.


WHAT IS INCLUDED IN MY PURCHASE?

Our complete jetboard package consists of one board and one battery. For every complete board, you’ll also receive a charger, one pair of fins, a wireless hand remote, and a board leash—everything you need to make the most out of your ride as below picture shown.


Foot binding straps are also included with the board kit.


WHAT IS THE AVERAGE BATTERY CHARGING TIME?

With our speed charger, it is 3.5 hours.


WHERE CAN I RIDE THE JETBOARD?

In most countries,  you can ride jetboards in any body of water as long as you follow the local rules and regulations. Please check with your local authorities for areas that are restricted and always respect the no-wake zones (e.g. in port areas). Be especially careful in areas with a lot of boat traffic and always be respectful when swimmers are around. 


WHY ARE JETBOARDS SO EXPENSIVE?

Our jetboards are manufactured with expensive materials, including powerful motors, lithium-ion batteries, and durable carbon bodies. Additionally, each jetboard component is packed with the latest cutting-edge technology that allows our customers to secure performance upgrades and firmware updates. Development of a new jetboard model takes up to 12 months. To justify the cost of production and importation, we sell our jetboards at the current price point.


CAN I TRY A BOARD BEFORE I PLACE AN ORDER?

At the moment, we are only offering sales but you can try riding in jetfly surfing clubs in Shenzhen, Sanya,Huizhou  when visit our factory 


FAQ


Is 55 MPH crazy scary fast?

Yes, 55 MPH is very fast. Maybe too fast. But if you are skilled at surfing and riding in a relatively quiet/open water area, you will really enjoy the extra speed. Also, you can outrun most sharks at that speed, which could be a nice benefit.

Regardless of the top speed, everyone can enjoy the increased acceleration that comes with a powerful motor.

The Electric Jet Body Board is good to take a person as heavy as 100kg (220lbs).


How do you operate the Setro Electric Jet Body Board? Do I have to use the rope?

Every Setro Electric Jet Body Board comes with a red rope and handle/hand throttle that allows you to control your speed and balance.

The rope serves 2 purposes:

1.) It helps you feel more secure to the board especially when there are waves. It helps the new rider to maintain the balance, but when you are good this is not necessary.

2.) The rope connects to the throttle, by pressing which you control the speed.

So you will always need to hold the throttle but can keep the rope relaxed when you are good at riding.


How much will it cost to buy an extra swappable battery?

The swappable battery is US$999 for the Electric Jet Body Board..

With two batteries, you can have nearly 3 hours of riding time at a moderate throttle.

How will you handle service, repairs, and spare parts?

We are offering a 1 year warranty and parts are available for life. The Setro Electric Jet Body Board has a modular design, which allows us to send you the broken parts for free.

In fact, most of the parts would be relatively easy to change by yourself. Otherwise, it would need to be sent to our service centers for repair or replacement.

At now we only have one service center in USA, but we got many interested distributors from Germany, France, Spain, Italy etc more to come and once they confirm the distributorship, they will become our service center as well.


What regular maintenance is required? Can I do it myself?

One of the benefits of Jet Surfboard over combustion engine surfboards is they are almost free of maintenance.

Remember to wash it thoroughly after use in the ocean and charge the battery at least every three months when not in use.

What did your reliability testing consist of?

Yes quite similar to other products which consist of aging and reliability testing of the motor, battery, controller and propulsion system etc.

What has been the main maintenance problem with similar boards and what have you learned from it?

The problem with a combustion engine jet surfboard is that they have to leave an air intake hole, by which the water is quickly getting in, and maintenance is required whenever water gets into the engine.

With a battery solution, everything is sealed, and no water would be able to get into the driving system. We also spent a ton of time to solving the battery overheating problem which many other surfboard brands struggle with.


How do you get the board in and out of the water? Could my 13-year old to use it?

Our Setro Electric Jet Body Board weighs only 15kg (33lbs) without the battery.

The battery is designed to be easily swappable and you can always dismount the battery whenever you are to carry the board.
