Why This ‘Flying Surfboard' Costs $12,000 

Was gonna comment it. But guess not.

"Anyone" is different from "everyone"

in my country i'd haveto work for almost 8 years to be able to save and buy one. And it could be longer if the government decides to print as money as they steal and cause high inflation

The idea for things like this is more that you go to a place and rent one/take lessons for an afternoon

@@elyasa8819 Me too😅

Zairem Renthlei haha 🤣 really I will also wait too

Absolutely right! its just a matter of time, but seriously it will come and will happen.

Yeah its gonna somehow catch fire

Wash your hands for 20 seconds after using it

😂

yeah I also laughed at that part lmao. the whole shebang is just a Li-ion battery for a small-ass DC underwater motor to propel a hydrofoil mounted under a surfboard. The price is absolutely ridiculous.

Taikamuna damn we meet again.

Bill Gates be like

@Omar Aguirre give link

Yep, this is for us rich people... Not you poor bastards... seriously... your mind set... is poor... there is nothing about money here... funny how most people insist on being negative... being poor... of spirit

But can U surf with that car??

A car is more important than surfing tbh

JockNessMonster Jock Edwards Thats why a car is cheaper duh

Edwin De Jesus yes once ! Lol 😂

and 12 shit cars 🤣

Minimum wage in Puerto Rico is $7.25/hr and I really doubt those workers are getting paid just the minimum.

Waiting for my Chinese made hydrofoil now for $500. Same thing as this.

@@keoki1978 the Chinese always have to copy everything but I'm sure it will be of great quality with that price.

@@keoki1978 probably will still cost at least 2k Or 1500 but then the quality worn be that good

Minimum wage in PR is the same as in any state as we are part of USA and federal law applies.

Poor or Middle Class is not part of their demographic

As everything price will only go down from now on. When the demand grows production costs go down and with that price too. Now they are probably losing money so just give them time, it’s simple economics and if they don’t lower the prices the chinese will.

They arent even worth that. More like $2,500.00 - $3,500.00 at best

Watch the video, production is expensive

If you want one, just get it on finance and pay it off over a few years. Normal people do that with cars that are far more expensive! If you really want one of these I'd say it was obtainable for most people

But you wouldn't own it

@@pokingfun4008 And that's a trade off how?. I don't own a parachute but I've gone skydiving before and I'm fine that I only got to use one,give it back.

Banana Wizard 21 lmao

This comment is so funny now

REALLY !

Hanalei wailua or kalihiwai

Go to his Facebook today 07/04/2021 he's on it for fourth of July where you said a good year later

O

Sanderb_official I should be asking you the same question for getting offended at a joke made a year ago in the RU-vid comment section.

Sanderb_official 12 year olds wouldn’t get the joke. Actually

Sanderb_official what’s even more sad is you took the time out your day to reply to a year old comment. Get a life.

@@kaptain1477 im on ur side man. Sanderb_official needs to get a life

more like 800%?

Also if he is buying imported materials as well if could very well be atleast 125%

mar i there are different alternatives

Wayyyyy to expensive I build one myself door 1500-2000$

Don't trust anyone who uses all CAPS!!!

Gijs I bet you couldn't. Because that would need to include all of the research and development and then on top of that all the components and design and cfd. And then manufacture.

Clint Tapper you know he's right I've been researching and you can build one for $4000us easy if you buy all the components yourself and put it together

F900EX am sure thats not on his business plan ..His plan is to milk 🥛 milk 🐄 .. But am sure someone in China is working on mass production of the bad boy ..

He hasn't sold 500 at all. He's also putting in preorders as "sales". Lots of bussines do this.

@@Fire0101011 This is the boosted or evolve the brand. China will come and make a higher quality board that costs 1/8th the price and these will be forced to go lower or will go out of stock.

@ImNeoFr 350$ haha.

Highly disagree I think it's definitely worth it. It works and seems to be very safe.

​@ImNeoFr you are delusional

_Bob McCoy there is no possible flex yacht owners can’t do back

A yacht owner prob has already 5

and the yacht owner will accelerate to throw yo fat tsunami waves 🤣

Your font is flexing. Let that be enough.

Or the same price as a pretty good motorcycle

It's a joke. I don't think I ever will get over the way rich people have no understanding of how the rest of the world lives

I got my 2016 Golf for 9k lol and got a 2020 Can am Renegade 1000r for 13k

Koren G. But then the young company wouldn’t be able to fill the orders without sacrificing quality

@@KUfraskins Not true! a standard foil costs 1500. They work 60h for this one. 12k is a ripoff.

The foil alone is an easy 1500

Look at Amazon" they ship goods that aren't in terrible quality and at a decent price. So just because these boards are made by hand we should pay the steep price tag?. GET OUT OF HERE! 🤣

these boards are made out of full carbon fiber, everything including the wing/mast, the prop is a full aluminum, almost nothing except the components case are made out ofbplastic.

@@Noxia777 you make it seem like carbon fiber is some mysterious material that costs insane amounts of money. It isn’t.

Not if it costs 200$ / h😂

Don't call it surfing. Nothing with a motor is surfing.

Nope do a little bit of research. I work for an efoil company and I I protyping for them. Material cost of these boards are well over 5k. Then you add the assambly cost and the development cost as well as the employees and this price is justified. But don't buy lift, buy fliteboard instead.

as someone who was some they are 100% worth it. there are cheaper ones out there but they are garbage

No one's hating the board,just the price tag for something so small when I can easily get an SUV for around $5k with low miles used,in good condition. Also not everyone lives near a large body of water so what's the point owning a motorized surfboard if you don't live near a lake/beach

Visionery1 Nope... you restricted yourself... to negativity, scarcity and being a POOR person:) Seriously... you insist on being poor and negative... you must not want the wealth all around you... Good lord... all the negativity... I'm getting at least two of these... now... and ten more when the price drops...lol

@@JeffWarrenAnderson , the honest, as well as harsh, truth is that taxes, insurance, stocks, all forms of currency, and financial wealth are all nothing but a whole bunch of artificial constructs that have been both made, as well as maintained, by a group of super sneaky, slick, powerful, and evil Luciferian globalist elites that have literally bred themselves into positions of power, as well as were the first ironically moronic individuals to have gave value to things like paper money, coins, precious gemstones, precious metals, sea shells, sand dollars, crypto-currencies, credit/debit cards, computer chips, and, yes, even bartered items. Stocks, taxes all types of bonds, other currency matters, and insurance, regardless of them being enforced by governments, including even Anarchists, corporations, special interest groups, terrorist groups, religious groups, including Atheists and their related ilk, /or criminal syndicates/organizations/families/etc., are also scams that hide under the color of law, thus since they are artificial constructs that fluctuate in power, they cannot serve as the backbone to a truly powerful and advanced society, and they also serve the purpose of Lucifer, and said items ultimately, as well as ironically, have as much worth as the money in a game of Monopoly or Life. The bottom line is one person (@Visionery1) fails to quit being a whiny moron about why they cannot make it in this world (poor planning, as well as a lack of proper financial planning, an ability to make a steady, consistent, and reliable source of income that can maintain a safe level of living, and not having a good and profitable idea that can truly change the world, are your real reasons on why you remain poor in your life), and the other person, namely yourself, is completely unrealistic and naive about how money, as well as its related ilk, not only all operate, but why they all even exist in the first place. You both are wrong.

na dont think so. just by working on an normal job you will be able to get one in a half a year

@@hoineenietjij3331 not if you're living outside the US where the exchange rate can be >18:1.

Garlic Knotzis lmao you made my day

exactly !

Jetski is boring

Yeah, that caught my attention too. It's bullshit. He's wanting to earn a good buck for himself when there's no direct competition. His mark up is probably pretty high.

Nope. It's not even surfing.

Wouldn't a boat worth 12 grand kill someone too?

So your telling me that it costs 11,000 to motorise a 1000 dollar product

@@bingusbongus3916 Did you read my comment? I’m explaining why it is not a $1000 product. If you think its too expensive or you can buy/ invent a cheaper one, then don’t buy one.

I"m told battery cost 5k to replace and it doesn't last forever!

Nah , I am working for a efoil company and for 2,5k you get the battery PRODUCTION COST!!! Just do do little bit of research.

No fuckin way. $2500 is barely enough for a traditional hydrofoil without a motor.

Probably 2-3 hrs

Wow check that surfer bod , and a great style... NOT!!

do it and I'll buy it for 3k from you

Actual surfers already hate them, not out of jealousy but out of disdain: THAT'S NOT SURFING.

There is it’s a normal foil this is an electric foil

The problem is that it's battery Begins to die after 300-1000 recharges depending on the model

I second that one

she been on her knees many times
