Flat-water surfing: Onean Electric surfboards

December 7, 2015 by Editorial Team

This electric jet board from Spanish watersports brand Onean is a real proof that you can surf without any swell and even enjoy high speed over water. Onean offers the adrenaline rush of riding anywhere.

Lightweight and fast, the integrated electric-powered jet-propulsion system is environmentally friendly and really intuitive to use. From cruising over the water surface for the most adventurous ones to the most extreme performances for adrenaline fans. Tides and wind conditions dependencies remain to the past, now you have nothing to depend on but yourself.

The electric-powered jet board (prices start from €3,450, Excl. VAT) is offered in two versions: Carver (designed for high-speed slaloming) and the very stable Manta (for entry-level users).

The Manta surfboard is a completely different concept from Carver. Really stable and easy to use, it has been designed for relaxed purposes and to enjoy the environment. Imagine the peacefulness you could experience taking long tours at a cruising speed of 8-10 km/h (5-6,3 mph).

Over the last few weeks, Onean team has been testing the speed on the Carver jet board.

“As we have already been sharing with all of you in most of the inquiries, there are many factors that come into play when talking about speed over the water surface. The weight of the rider and water surface conditions are crucial to determine these values. On our last series of test we have reached around 40 km/h (25mph) in optimal conditions. But please note: Speed in optimal conditions with an 80kg (175lbs) rider. With the same rider and choppy waters the speed decreases to around 35km/h (22mph),” explained Onean in a statement.

The list of Hyve’s innovations includes The Grindboard carbon longboard, MAN 175D Marine Diesel Engine, Tyrolit knife sharpener, B/S/H Styline kitchen machine, Flexi Vario dog lead, MED-EL Samba audio processor, Audi Service key Reader, Telefunken Jet Flyer scooter, motorised ePaddle, Sunstar Virtus modular ibike kit, Paket Butler domestic package station and many more. They have even a Rapide Carbon Knitting technique. This is a rapid prototyping procedure with which a pretreated “prepreg” carbon strip is “printed”. This means that the carbon strip is interwoven with, e.g., an easy-melting PLA, from which it is possible to generate a three-dimensional mass without previous form. After the carbon form is firmly set, it can be easily treated with resin that will then render a high load-bearing, finished carbon composite component.
