01About Radinn
Radinn is a Swedish electric watercraft company that has been pioneering jet-powered boards since 2013 — making them one of the earliest entrants in the electric water sports industry. While most eFoil brands use propeller-driven foils, Radinn built its reputation on jetboard technology (boards that plane on the water surface rather than fly above it) before expanding into eFoiling.
Today, Radinn offers both jetboard and eFoil products, all sharing the brand's signature premium build quality, sleek Scandinavian design, and innovative jet propulsion technology.

ℹ️ InfoJetboards and eFoils are different products. Jetboards ride on the water surface (like a motorized surfboard), while eFoils fly above the water on a hydrofoil. Radinn uniquely offers both.
03Jetboard vs eFoil: What's the Difference?
Since Radinn is one of the few brands offering both, here's how they compare:
| Feature | Jetboard | eFoil |
|---|---|---|
| Ride Style | Surface — like motorized surfing | Flying — 1–3 ft above water |
| Learning Curve | Easier (familiar for surfers) | Moderate (unique skill) |
| Speed | Higher (35–38 mph) | Lower (28–32 mph) |
| Battery Life | Shorter (40–45 min) | Longer (75–90 min) |
| Conditions | Works in any conditions, handles chop | Best in calm water |
| Noise | Louder (jet makes more noise) | Near silent |
| Sensation | Adrenaline, speed, spray | Peaceful, floating, zen |

05Who Should Buy a Radinn?
Radinn is the right choice if you:
- Want both a jetboard and an eFoil on a single platform — Radinn's modularity is unmatched
- Prefer surface riding (jetboard) over flying — some riders find the spray, speed, and sensation of a jetboard more exciting
- Value Swedish design and engineering with a premium finish
- Like the idea of versatile water toys — having one system that does both means more fun per dollar
- Want a board that can handle choppier conditions — jetboards are less affected by rough water than eFoils
