LIND Canvas Electric Surfboard

LIND Canvas Electric Surfboard – INFORMATION

LIND turns the dream of surfing wherever there is water into reality. The Canvas is LIND’s first stock release — a modular electric surfboard designed and built by a team split between California and Sweden, fusing the look and feel of a classic surfboard with state-of-the-art electric propulsion. There is no boat to tow, no foil to manage, no exposed propeller, no transportation drama. You carry the board under one arm and the battery and jet on your back — and you go surf.

Engineered for both performance and longevity, the Canvas is shaped from EPS foam and glassed in epoxy resin, with an oak wood tail block and stringer. The drivetrain — a 192-cell custom lithium-ion battery and a dual-motor waterjet — slots into the board’s underside through an elegant locking mechanism. Setup takes about 15 seconds, requires no tools, and the same drivetrain can be swapped between every board in your quiver.

A Future Classic — California × Sweden

LIND boards push the boundaries of innovation while staying true to the timeless traditions of surfboard craft. They are a deliberate dance between surf-inspired beauty and cutting-edge technology — every curve, edge and contour considered. Canvas is the foundation board, with two stock shapes and an open invitation to design custom editions in collaboration with master shapers and artists.

Surf Where Others Can’t

Most of the earth’s water is flat. Even where waves exist, mastering surfing with a job and a family is a tall order. LIND closes that gap. The Canvas lets you surf lakes, rivers, bays, harbours and protected coastlines — any body of water you can legally ride. No wind, no swell, no wake boat required.

Modular by Design — 15-Second Tool-less Assembly

Unlike most electric surfboards, the LIND board, battery and jet are stand-alone pieces. The board’s rocker hides a robust frame that accepts the drivetrain through a single locking arm. Insert battery, insert jet, close the arm — you are ready to ride. This modularity also means one drivetrain can power every Canvas, Custom or Art Board in your quiver.

The World’s First Surfboard Battery — 3.1 kWh

The LIND Long-Range Battery is composed of 192 lithium-ion cells packed diagonally to maximize energy density — roughly twice the cell density of a Tesla Model S pack. Replaceable nickel- and gold-coated connectors with redundant watertight sealing keep it safe in saltwater. A PCB with 48 embedded temperature sensors monitors every cell, with self-balancing voltage management and automated overheating controls. Integrated under the board, the battery is naturally cooled by the water you ride on — a deliberate choice to maximise longevity.

Imaginative Engineering — 20 kW / 27 hp Jet

The LIND Jet is a dual-motor waterjet delivering 20 kW (27 hp) from only 10 kg of mass. A 97%-efficient gear-reduction design feeds power through a stabilised impeller, and a high-impact composite housing protects internal cooling and overheating controls. The Shortboard is effectively a one-horsepower-per-kilogram electric vehicle. Top speed: up to 65 km/h (40 mph).

Shaped by Shapers — Real Surfboard Feel

The Canvas was developed in collaboration between LIND engineers, surfboard shapers and designers. Each board is shaped from EPS foam, glassed in epoxy resin, finished with an oak wood tail block and stringer, and trimmed with a custom magnetic-mount single fin. At ~7 kg (~16 lb), you can carry it under one arm — exactly like a traditional surfboard.

LIND Canvas vs. Other Premium E-Jet Surfboards

The LIND Canvas competes in a small, premium segment of electric jet-powered surfboards. Below is a head-to-head comparison with two other notable e-jet options on Wave Lovers — the BRABUS-branded matte-black collaboration from Awake (top-tier statement piece) and the iAQUA X-Jet Xtreme (raw top-speed thrill board).

The LIND Canvas is the only one of the three built like a traditional surfboard — shaped from EPS foam and glassed in epoxy with an oak wood tail block, not a moulded composite hull. It is also the only fully modular system in the segment: board, battery and jet are stand-alone pieces that assemble in 15 seconds and the same drivetrain swaps between every LIND board you own.

Who is the LIND Canvas for?

The LIND Canvas sits at the top of the premium e-jet segment — designed around a real surfboard feel, modular drivetrain architecture and Scandinavian/Californian craftsmanship. It serves a clearly defined audience:

• Surfers without consistent waves who want the closest possible flat-water surf experience — lakes, rivers, bays and protected coastlines
• Surfboard purists who value EPS-and-epoxy construction with an oak wood tail block over moulded composite hulls — the Canvas rides and carries like a traditional surfboard
• Premium design buyers drawn to LIND’s California-meets-Sweden aesthetic, attention to detail and timeless craft
• Quiver owners who plan multiple LIND boards (Shortboard, Midlength, Custom, Art Board) and want to share a single drivetrain across all of them
• Lighter and intermediate-to-advanced riders who can exploit the compact 66 L Shortboard, or all-round riders who prefer the steady 88 L Midlength
• Collectors and art enthusiasts interested in LIND’s custom and Art Board collaborations with master shapers and contemporary artists

Riders chasing absolute top speed should consider the iAQUA X-Jet Xtreme (up to 68 km/h, lower price). Buyers focused on the BRABUS lifestyle aesthetic or guest-friendly beginner stability should look at the BRABUS x Awake SHADOW EXPLORE (121 L stable hull, BRABUS-branded battery and controller).

FAQ — Modular Drivetrain, Battery Range & Flat-Water Surfing

What is the LIND Canvas Electric Surfboard?

The Canvas is LIND’s first stock-production modular electric surfboard. It pairs a classically-shaped EPS/epoxy surfboard with a 3.1 kWh battery and a 20 kW waterjet that slide into the underside of the board through a tool-less locking arm. It is engineered to recreate the feeling of surfing on flat water — no waves, no boat, no foil required.

How fast does the LIND Canvas go?

Top speed is approximately 65 km/h (40 mph) with both Shortboard and Midlength shapes. The 15-step electronic power control via the LIND Controller lets you ease into speed and dial down the maximum, so the same board adapts to a beginner’s first session and an experienced rider’s full throttle.

How long does the battery last?

The LIND Long-Range Battery delivers up to 45 minutes of ride time on a single charge. Actual duration depends on rider weight, throttle usage, water temperature and water conditions. A full recharge with the included LIND Fast Charger (3200 W) takes about one hour.

What’s the difference between Shortboard and Midlength?

The Shortboard (190 cm, 66 L, 7 kg) is built for responsiveness, maneuverability and rail-to-rail surfing — closer to a traditional performance shortboard. The Midlength (206 cm, 88 L, 9 kg) keeps the same drivetrain but adds volume and a slightly relaxed rocker for balance, control and easier cruising — a better entry point for newer riders and longer flat-water sessions.

Is the LIND Canvas suitable for beginners?

The Midlength is the more beginner-friendly shape thanks to its extra volume and stability. The 15-step power control lets you cap top speed at any level, so even the Shortboard can be ridden conservatively while learning. We still recommend a brief on-water introduction or coaching session for first-time electric-surfboard riders.

How does the modular drivetrain work?

The board, battery and jet are independent pieces. The board’s underside contains a precision frame; you drop the battery and jet into place, close the locking arm, and the drivetrain is mechanically and electrically connected. Because everything is modular, a single drivetrain can be moved between multiple LIND boards in your quiver.

How long does it take to assemble?

About 15 seconds, with no tools required. From taking parts out of the backpack to riding-ready takes less than a minute including unpacking. Disassembly for transport is equally fast.

Can I use the LIND on lakes and flat water?

Yes — flat water is exactly what the Canvas is designed for. Lakes, rivers, bays, harbours, lagoons and calm coastal water are all ideal. Always check local regulations regarding motorised watercraft and battery-powered devices before riding, especially on inland bodies of water.

What is the LIND Canvas made of?

The board is shaped from EPS foam, glassed in epoxy resin, with an oak wood tail block and stringer. The battery uses a composite-polypropylene cell housing with watertight, replaceable connectors. The jet housing is high-impact-resistance plastic. All materials are selected for saltwater durability and corrosion resistance.

How heavy is the LIND Canvas?

The Shortboard weighs about 7 kg (16 lbs), the Midlength about 9 kg (20 lbs) — light enough to carry under one arm. The battery adds 17 kg (37 lbs) and the jet adds 10 kg (22 lbs); both are carried in the LIND Backpack while the board goes under your arm.

How does shipping work for the LIND Canvas?

Each LIND Canvas is a high-value freight shipment, so shipping is not calculated automatically at checkout. After your order, we coordinate dispatch directly with LIND and confirm the exact shipping cost to your destination by a separate invoice — typically about 2 weeks from the date the order is finalised. If you’d like a delivery estimate in advance (for example for a yacht-based delivery or a specific port), please get in touch before ordering and we’ll request a tailored quote.

Custom & Art Boards on Request

Because the LIND board is fully separate from the drivetrain, every Canvas can be replaced with a fully custom shape, finish or art-board collaboration (oak, walnut, zebrano, resin and more). If you are interested in a one-of-a-kind board, please get in touch — we will help coordinate the build with LIND directly.
