Project Description:

Electri-Surf is a project that was developed to test the capability and effectiveness of applying land based applications to an object that is used solely in water. The idea was to take similar applications used for a wirelessly controlled skateboard and apply them to a surfboard. Electri-Surf was also designed in order to provide both individuals that are familiar with surfing and those that are not, the ability to enjoy close to the same experience as traditional surfing without needing an outside source, such as ocean waves. Our electric powered surfboard should be operable with little to no prior surfing experience, but some physical stamina and balance is required. A few electronic features will be added to our electric powered surfboard to make it more user-friendly and safer for both the rider and nearby objects and bystanders.
