Who said water and electricity can’t be friends?

The Lampuga is an electric surfboard that allows for wave cruising in coastal areas, speeding through warm and sunny bays, drifting in cozy lagoons or just enjoying the most relaxing and quiet sunbath ever — far away from massively crowded beaches. Made from lightweight carbon-fibre composite construction and powerful full-electric jet drive, it’s capable of reaching high velocities, making the Lampuga as fast, agile and smooth as the marine creature which shares its name: the dolphinfish, one of the fastest fish in the world.

The thrill of gliding over the water on a Lampuga electric surfboard is just one of many exhilarating ways to experience coastal adventures. For those who prefer the roar of a jet ski or the spaciousness of a jet boat, the joy of navigating through azure waters and feeling the wind rush past is equally enticing. However, to keep these high-performance machines in top shape, reliable repair and maintenance services are essential. That’s where The Jet Ski Doctor comes in, offering expert repair and service for all types of jet skis and jet boats.

With a deep understanding of the unique mechanics and needs of these watercraft, it ensures that your ride remains as swift and smooth as a Lampuga on the water. Whether you need routine maintenance, emergency repairs, or upgrades to enhance performance, their dedicated team provides the expertise to keep your water adventures uninterrupted.

Whether you’re a novice seeking your first taste of surfing or a seasoned rider looking to elevate your skills, the combination of cutting-edge technology and expert instruction ensures that every session in Waikiki is a step towards mastery and a deeper connection with the sea.

Using a brushless synchronous motor powered by a 52-volt lithium-ion battery that provides 20 to 35 minutes of runtime and up to 12 miles, this electric surfboard is claimed to have a top speed of 34 MPH. Wow! Due to its light weight, handling of the Lampuga is incredibly easy. There’s no need for a training session before you could start your surfing, the board is controlled by a steering belt which also carries the accelerator throttle. It’s attached to the bow of the board, providing a secure connection and full control. Built-in battery and motor parts keep the Lampuga always safe. In case you might lose control, an automated emergency stop mechanism will ensure that the power to the engine is shut off instantly.

The surfboard’s battery charges charges in two hours with the included 30-amp charging station or an hour with the available 60-amp version. With a price tag of $17,400 not everyone will be able to afford it, but I’m sure the price will come down as this exhilarating toy takes off.
