Everything is better with more power. Whether it’s a vehicle, a tool, or a robot built to fight in a cage, increasing horsepower always leads to more enjoyment and excitement. So what happens when you add a 22.5 kw brushless DC motor to a surfboard? You get an ultra-powerful surfboard that can glide across the water at 50 km/h. Plus, if you paint the surfboard silver and wear a matching skin suit, you’ll have the perfect superhero Halloween costume. In a recent video, YouTuber the Hacksmith demonstrates how to construct a silver motorized surfboard.
