Boost SurfingFin - Electric Motor for Surfboards, SUPs and Kayaks. Lightweight, Compact, and Shockingly resistant Electric Fin with Remote Control. (Boost Fin)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:We have used this motor 3 times so far. AWESOME. We almost returned because of fin not fitting properly. Then had to paid $29. for new adapter for fin placement but we stuck it out and are very happy with purchase. We are older(67&75) and gives us the freedom to be on the water during wind and strong currents.

This thing works. Paddling out used to drain me big time, with boost it's way easier - now I have enough energy left to actually catch a wave afterwards LOL. I tried to get to the lineup on boost alone, without paddling myself: it works, but takes a while - so I usually use the fin and paddle simultaneously.It also helps to catch the wave, but you have to use the higher speed setting (there are two buttons, regular and high) and learn to time it correctly. It's obviously not magic - you still have to paddle hard. But the difference is significant and for me it’s a game-changer.Gotta mention that I'm new to this and use a 8ft board, not sure how this would feel on a shorty. I would certainly recommend it for anyone that's at my level.

Very disappointed. Had to purchase twice and waited for SUP adaptor to arrive. When it did, the QR code for installation took me to a dead end webpage and no other instructions were available via instructions, the app, website, or even YouTube. Figured it out, but took way more time than it should have. Tested it for power before taking it out on the water. Immediately wouldn’t work when I used the remote to start (this is apparently the only way to operate it, no sure what the app is supposed to do). Had to stop at a dock and pull my SUP out of the water to troubleshoot. Remote wouldn’t connect even though I had it connected before. Worked for about 5 seconds and then never again.I loved the idea and was really excited to try it out. It’s a total bust. Guess I will continue to get a workout in when I’m out paddling on a windy day.Don’t waste your time or money on this.

The media could not be loaded. Super Stoked! I was looking up electric boogie boards because Im getting older and broke my arm last year dirt biking and it’s messed up at the shoulder and paddling out and popping up is too brutal for me to Surf comfortably anymore. I hope the jacked up boogie board will help me get out there and start building up some strength and have some fun. I bought two different adapters.. the stick on and the soft top adapters. Because of the curve of the boogie board, it wouldn’t hold on the bottom with the glue. Luckily the soft top adapter is perfect and a quick install with just two easy holes to drill and pop it in. The adapter came with two different length of two screws. The longer screws are just right. I took the two short ones and with the boat repair glue included in the stick on adapter kit and glued them to back of the controller button then drilled two short holes in the front of the boogie board put some of the boat repair glue in the holes and push the screws in. It holds tight even with out the glue. I’m going to try it in the pool as soon as I’m sure all the glue is set then will take it to Ocean Beach San Diego and see how we can rock this thing!

2 months of use on my paddleboard, here in phx, primarily on the Salt River. I've run it through about 12 trips down the river (also 12 charging cycles). Winter/Spring, the water flow is low and slow. Usually, a 3-4 hour coast or a couple hour paddle. primarily I use it on demand as a supplement to paddling and as needed.This was fun with this fin assist. I'm able to spend more time checking out different areas of the river with less effort to battle currents and catch up to the group rapidly.I run into rocks regularly in the rapids when the river is low, no issues yet (leading edge looks like any other fin you run into rocks with, a little ding here or there, but not any issues and nothing more than expected).I could see this being a big help if you have an injury or just not up to the level of your group. for me, I just want to explore more and do more but don't want to spend too much time and effort catching up.

I will return to leave my review about the fin. But as of right now, I cannot use it or try it on my paddle board because it didn't come back. With the proper attachment for me to be able to use it, I did order the attachment. However, I have to wait until now. June thirtieth, before it comes and the bad part about that is, I'll be away on vacation from the twenty eighth to july 5th. The description made?It seem like it came with everything I needed.I never even saw that there was a potential for another part. I'm extremely disappointed and the fact that I have to wait so long to get the part. I need to use this

This has been a lot of fun. I had to file down the piece that fits into the board but once I got that in the rest works great. It took a minute to figure out the speeds. It is basically full throttle or it does a pulse thing then stops. Hard to turn the paddleboard at full throttle so I turn it off to shift direction then start again.

I wasn’t sure if this product would deliver on its promises, but it has far surpassed my expectations! I suffered several shoulder injuries, two requiring surgery. My paddling strength after the operation was very low. Surfing was just frustrating. After installing the Boost fin I was able to catch waves again and regain my Stoke for surfing! It works quite well on my 7’ Aipa. I’ve also used it on longboards and SUP’s. It’s worked great on all. This fin helps with paddling to the line up and catching waves. Also cruising on a SUP. It does create a little drag while surfing, but it’s worth it considering how many more waves I’m catching. The best part is that using the Boost fin during my shoulder recovery allowed me to develop and recondition those muscles and now I’m back to surfing on my own power, but I still enjoying using the Boost fin on about half of my sessions.
