Great interview!
A lot of respect to Simon - I would be not able to build such an eFoil or Jetboard. 3 minutes range are not my world though. I think you really need to be interested in building things yourself (which I am too lazy for ;-)), but if someone is into this it should be a lot of fun. Great job!
Simon, you may want to try a water-proof remote such as Maytech:
yes a very inspiring guy. 3 minutes he got at 55km/h at lipo batteries which are very powerful but for a short term… for usual lithium he would need many more of those. i hope he will build an efoil soon!
Great project and good interview! I would be to lazy as well to build something like this. But it looks like big fun. The 3 minutes would be to less for me. I guess the main thrill was to build it 
He is using a huge engine for his efoil build. Typically e foils are slower than jetboards. Do you think this will be the same? Or will he reach the 50km/h barrier with more power?
Thank you. I dont think he targets top speeds with efoil but he had 2 engines in jetboard build vs 1 in efoil so it’s bigger
And efoil probably has higher resistance as it has a lot of drag from wings and motor that are completely in the water. He didn’t mention something about power output of this engine right? Would be interesting to know. He will probably tell in one of his videos. I already subscribed to his channel 
New Video! Have you ever dreamed of creating your own jetboard or efoil?
Today we meet Christian Green, a creator of his own DIY jetboard who will share his insights on how you can build your own surfboard board from scratch! Christian shows how he created both electric and petrol surfboards.
Awesome video, @Jetsurfingnation . I will take some time to do a deep dive into some of the DIY components (motors, controllers, etc.) mentioned in your video and share my findings here.
