Published purpose

As environmental awareness increases many businesses are seeking to electrify various products. While the focus right now is on the automotive industry, water transport is another field of interest. Paddleboards specifically present a great market for electrification. This project seeks to tackle this growing market and deliver an easy-to-use/install product. Product components will include the battery, electric fin, thrust button, mounting hardware, and required cables. This project will deliver a working prototype and product documentation. The current market competition is low due to supply chain issues. A handful of products have been released in this growing market. The current targeted prototype completion is within a year.
