They have more quality issues than anyone can track, even Waydoo can’t keep up. Lots of people on their Facebook group are asking where their warranty parts are because they’ve been waiting for weeks! Some people said they can’t get any response from Waydoo at all.
A Waydoo rep says they have at least 10 broken fuselages already and I’ve counted at least that many bent masts too. Even when the board is working they don’t reach the advertised speed or battery life! Several riders said they can’t get more than 40 minutes out of one battery. This is a list of problems they posted a while ago, probably lots more by now
Board is absorbing water into the EPP foam
“S” and beeping sound from remote
Battery was blinking red and blue.
31" Mast bent…Shorter mast no bending reported
Front patroller wing bolts too long. Bottoms out before fully tight so bolt need to be cut down
Clip holding battery to board falls off
Battery shutting off randomly - in the board - Seems to be related to a misalignment of a safety-magnet that is easily corrected
Battery shutting off while charging (not fully charged)
Backing peeling off battery
Fuselage corroding (salt water?)
Remote fails, display turns off, condensation or water inside remote
Rear composite wing holes are too small, screw does not easily pass through
Wing mast bolt won’t stay tight
Unlock function not working properly
Waydoo goes slower than normal, can’t foil at highest speed
Short battery life
Prop hitting guard when spinning
Screws strip easily - not over tightened
Round battery clamp pops off of screw when board turned upside down w battery in board.
Remote control (“error 1”), no connection to board
Front wing snapped off a the fuselage casting on some early boards that used prototype parts
Rear wing mount bent
Main wing screw holes not threaded
Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin not yet provided so the boards can not be registered
