For decades, surfing has been defined by its connection to tradition, with sleek, handcrafted boards dominating the waves. Enter the LIND Canvas, an electric surfboard blending that timeless craftsmanship with cutting-edge modular technology. Designed by Swedish-American company LIND, founded in 2021 by Alexander Lind and his team, the Canvas revolutionizes the way surfers approach the sport. With its striking natural wood aesthetics and high-performance electric drivetrain, this board merges the soul of traditional surfing with futuristic capabilities. It’s available in two configurations, a 6’3” shortboard for agility and a 6’9” midlength for added stability, maintaining all the visual and physical qualities surfers have come to love.
What sets the Canvas apart from other electric surfboards is its groundbreaking modular design. The board’s components—the surfboard itself, the battery pack, and the jet propulsion unit—are seamlessly detachable, making storage and transport easier than ever. The swappable 20kW battery provides up to an impressive 45 minutes of surfing fun, with a quick 1-hour charge using a high-voltage outlet. The dual-motor jet propulsion system delivers thrilling speeds of up to 37mph, mimicking the experience of riding big waves no matter the ocean conditions. A wireless remote allows for gradual power adjustment, offering a user-friendly interface for beginners and pros alike.
Beyond the technology, the LIND Canvas honors traditional surfboard craftsmanship. Constructed from EPS foam, layered in epoxy resin, and accented with oak wood elements, the board mimics the hand-shaped appeal of wooden boards while maintaining durability. At just 15lbs without the drivetrain, it’s lightweight enough to carry under one arm, a game-changer compared to bulky competitors. Starting at $24,950 with pre-orders open now, the Canvas is as much a work of art as it is a marvel of engineering, setting the stage for a new era of surfing where heritage and innovation coexist in harmony. Whether you're a seasoned surfer or simply looking for effortless wave-catching, the LIND Canvas promises an elevated experience on the water.
