How long does the battery last on an electric surfboard?

Dec 03, 2024

The battery life of an electric surfboard depends on various factors such as the model, battery capacity, rider weight, speed, and water conditions. Here’s a general guide:


Typical Battery Life:

Entry-Level Boards: 20–40 minutes of runtime.

Mid-Range Boards: 40–60 minutes of runtime.

High-End Boards: 60–120 minutes or more.


Factors Affecting Battery Life:


Riding Speed:

Higher speeds drain the battery faster. Cruising at moderate speeds extends runtime.


Rider Weight:

Heavier riders require more power, reducing battery life.


Water Conditions:

Choppy or rough waters demand more energy from the board, while calm waters conserve it.


Battery Capacity:

Measured in watt-hours (Wh), larger-capacity batteries generally last longer but may be heavier.


Usage Mode:

Some boards offer eco or performance modes, where eco mode can extend battery life.


Recharging:

Most electric surfboards take 2–4 hours to recharge fully, though some offer quick charging options.
