Best board i have seen and i have been researching models for over 10 years
Nicely explained and can feel the excitement you have in the design of the product and its features.
max shand Dear Max. I saw the videos that you took regarding the issues of the Mako Slingshot. Did it become a big problem for you? I live in Oman and here the Mako would be perfect for going to secluded beaches where you normally need a jetski. I was thinking of buying one but the issues seem severe. Thank ypu for your answer. P
Is da best border to ride Dat tsunami who ever biuld dis ur da man much respect for you brother
it this suitable for hot and humid weather ?
Can this be submerged underwater? Or once submerged do you have to dry it off like the Jetsurf?
Kepp up good work Gilo
That’s nearly $20 000 Australian from the factory. After dealers put another $5000 plus on them you could buy a JetSki or nice boat for that. I don’t think they will sell to the average Joe only for the rich kids. Would be fun in the surf though.
True, I have a speedboat that carries 6 ppl in comfort and a Jetski for myself. Total = $21,700. No stress, no falls in water.
Not everyone can tow or have a space for boat or jet ski. Good alternative really. You pack to car and lunch wherever you want
Gostei muito sou do Brasil. Na cidade de Fortaleza ceará. E show. Muito irado. Possui um deste e um sonho
WELL DONE CHAPS.
How long does delivery take once ordered?
This is an amazing machine. It seems odd you need to recharge the battery so often, I wonder how challenging it would be to attach a small aftermarket alternator to keep the battery charged. Even the smallest motorcycles have this function, I'm curious if they have considered adding one yet.
I might be wrong, but I thought the other review said you have to replace a fresh battery every four hours, even a chainsaw once started can maintain its own electrical charge for the spark. What am I missing that his isn't already a thing on these boards?
Only jet surf board have the alternator
It’s for maximum power. Soon as you add a charging system it draws power. Chainsaws don’t have electric start like these need. One tiny battery last 4 hours so if you had two which I’m sure it comes with that’s 8 hours of battery that’s long enough to charge one while using the other it’s a non issue. They need to squeeze as much power as they can out of these and a charging system isn’t logical
how much?
Factory sells them for £9000, I bought one and love it. cheaper to run than a jetski or boat and just walk down under your arm and off you go.
Jetski is less than 9000
£9000 is US12,000.
How much the price of the engine in the market,
Depends on whether you men brand new engine or factory refreshed engine? Best to email directly to info@makoboardsports.com
How about heavier riders? I’m 6’5 at 235 lbs. looks too small for a larger rider.
Peso 90kg, la tavola riesce a planare?
Yes i am 90kg and easy to pull me out of the water and hit 33 Mph just yesterday. great amount of power

This is just a lie "everything is designed from scratch", this board is Jetsurf copy.

@mike trenton that link is all electric boards. Such a dumb link to post as a comparison to a gasoline board. 🤦♂️
$7500.00!?....NEGATIVE!!
When your poor your poor. No need to explain it to us. The price is more than reasonable
