Dont know how much, or even if this will help, but I was sitting on the Santa Monica pier a while back and wondering if an air system might work better then electric?
so heres the idea:
4 or 5 carbon fiber tubes embedded in the board, each holding enough compressed air to "paddle out" one time.
an air drill motor connected to whatever drive system seems to be "winning" from this discussion.
a compressor unit on the shore to fill.
My thinking is it would be lighter then batteries, and the carbon air tubes would add strength to the board
I am not a surfer so It could be just another hair brained idea, but who knows right?
