Meet the Canvas: LIND’s Flagship Electric Surfboard Revolutionizing Surf Adventures

credit: LIND

While traditionalists argue that motorized propulsion on electric surfboards takes away from the essence of the sport, which relies on paddling and reading the tide and waves, LIND sees things differently. Co-founded by Alex Lind, Anders Dellson and Mattias Soderhielmand rooted in California and Sweden—two places known for their strong surf and design cultures, respectively—the company's mission was simple: create a board that allows people to enjoy surfing without relying on waves. Making its debut is the Canvas, an ideal option for riders who live in areas with flat waters or those who want the flexibility to surf on their own schedule, regardless of weather conditions.

A luxurious new way to experience the sport

Tradition meets technology with LIND electric surfboards

A game-changing addition to the world of surfing and a luxurious new way to experience the sport, LIND has fused traditional surfboard craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create a beautiful, high-performance board that embodies form and function. Available in two lengths (a more responsive and maneuverable 6'3' shortboard and 6'9' mid-length with greater volume for balance and control), both are powered by a 20kW drivetrain, which allows riders to carve through the water at speeds of up to 37 mph, offering an exhilarating 45-minute ride – no waves required.

Designed for convenience and portability, the Canvas weighs just 15 pounds (light enough to carry under one arm). Its modular construction allows for easy transportation (the propulsion system fits into a custom backpack) and assembly in under a minute. When fully equipped with the drivetrain (jet and battery pack), the board weighs 74 lbs, although you won't notice once on the water. Shaped from EPS foam and glassed in epoxy resin, the design incorporates the same oak wood tail block and stringer found on traditional boards; far from a piece of high-tech equipment, consider the LIND Canvas a work of art that will make any wall look good.

The ultimate luxury water toy 

Beyond its performance and craftsmanship, the LIND Canvas is also making waves in the luxury water sports market. With a $25,000 price tag, this electric surfboard is being positioned as an elite product for high-end enthusiasts. Electric surfboards have become one of the fastest-growing segments of yacht toys, and given its premium pricing the Canvas fits perfectly in this niche. By redefining how people engage with water sports, LIND believes Canvas is far from just another electric surfboard but an entirely new watercraft category. One which offers a thrilling experience that complements, rather than replaces, traditional surfing. Whether you're a seasoned surfer looking for a new way to ride or a water sports enthusiast eager to experience wave-free surfing, the LIND Canvas promises an unforgettable journey on the water.
