ELEGANCE MEETS TECHNOLOGY IN LIND’S WOODEN-STYLE ELECTRIC SURFBOARD
The LIND electric surfboard, called the Canvas, is where elegance meets technology: a wooden-style board that pairs traditional surf craftsmanship with a high-performance, modular electric drivetrain. Designed by Swedish-American company LIND, founded in 2021 by Alexander Lind and his team, the Canvas keeps the look and feel surfers love while adding jet propulsion that lets you catch a wave in any conditions.
What makes the LIND Canvas different from other electric surfboards?
For decades, surfing has been defined by its connection to tradition, with sleek, handcrafted boards dominating the waves. The Canvas blends that timeless craftsmanship with cutting-edge modular technology. It is available in two configurations: a 6 foot 3 inch shortboard for agility and a 6 foot 9 inch midlength for added stability, keeping the visual and physical qualities surfers have come to love. With striking natural wood aesthetics and a powerful electric drivetrain, the board merges the soul of traditional surfing with futuristic capabilities.
How does the LIND Canvas jet surfboard perform?
What sets the Canvas apart is its groundbreaking modular design. The three components, the surfboard, the battery pack and the jet propulsion unit, are seamlessly detachable, making storage and transport easier than ever. The swappable 20 kW battery provides up to 45 minutes of surfing fun and recharges in about an hour from a high-voltage outlet. The dual-motor jet propulsion system delivers thrilling speeds of up to 37 mph, mimicking the experience of riding big waves whatever the ocean is doing. A wireless remote allows gradual power adjustment, giving beginners and pros alike a user-friendly interface. You can see the full breakdown on the official LIND site and the hands-on coverage from New Atlas.
Craftsmanship meets engineering
Beyond the technology, the LIND Canvas honors traditional surfboard craftsmanship. Built from EPS foam, layered in epoxy resin and accented with oak wood elements, the board mimics the hand-shaped appeal of wooden boards while staying durable. At just 15 lbs without the drivetrain, it is light enough to carry under one arm, a real advantage over bulkier competitors. Starting at 24,950 dollars with pre-orders open now, the Canvas is as much a work of art as a marvel of engineering, ushering in a new era of surfing where heritage and innovation coexist. Whether you are a seasoned surfer or simply chasing effortless wave-catching, the LIND Canvas promises an elevated experience on the water.
