I am currently not aware of a solution other than travelling with just the surfboard and without the battery. You have to find either a battery at your destination or ship the battery with special cargo.
I guess better solution is to get on a car and go for a tour No issues with the planes anymore Else there is no solution around it. Shipping battery by cargo is very expensive. I guess only worth it if you are relocating to live in another country. Also what elecrict boards too heavy even without the battery for the plane. Jeff even had issue with Jeftusurf they said it’s too heavy (but finally accepted it).
The real solution must be developed by the manufacturers. It’s pretty obvious even.
If you can fly with a small battery like jetsurf’s so why not split a big battery into say 4 units of smaller batteries and take them separately ? Same like AAA batteries, you put 6 of those and you have a stereo going - you are not putting one huge battery. Modular battries is a solution. We spoke to some manufactures, it’s not easy to do and not worth the 1 guy who wants to travel.
The technology is there. It just takes more engineering to break the battery down into 100wh batteries. At Scubajet, we make the sj200 battery gap into 2 pieces, so each side is 100wh. I travel all over the world on airplanes with the Scubajet and spare batteries. I realize the faster boards need much more power, but that is a step in the direction.
Ideally these batteries could be “split” into several small batteries like @skiagua mentioned, but it seems that would be 10 to 15 pieces and that is probably difficult to manage.
Another approach could be that the batteries would be “standardised” and that each manufacturer would be able to use the same battery /batteries. In this case it might be possible to rent such batteries in different locations.
But this seems to be difficult as well given the early stage of this boards.
Hmm, the is a difficult one. Anyone a better idea?
