Previous experience with jetboards

Skills: you may also need to think of your previous experience with boards, don’t choose the fastest jetboard in the market if you’ve never got on top of a board, try to find an intermediate model for beginners instead. Works the other way round for senior riders.

Weight: your weight might be one of the key factors when choosing a board. Weight limits exist, so check how much the boards you are considering endure and choose the closest to your weight.

Repair: you may need to change a component of your board in case it breaks or fails, so you might end up opting for a board with interchangeable parts to ease the repair process.

On the other hand, you may need some accessories for your electric surfboard such as batteries or storage bags.

Try to purchase an original board even though the price might be considerably higher. In exchange, you will have factory advice on maintenance and warranty.
