About Us
ZAIHAI is more than an electric surfboard brand. It is a promise to every water sports enthusiast: the freedom to surf, anytime, anywhere.
Our story begins with our founder, born in 2003, a fresh graduate and a lifelong passionate water rider. For him, surfing is not merely a sport—it is pure freedom, a quiet connection with the water, and an irreplaceable rush of adventure.
Like countless riders across the globe, he faced a universal frustration: traditional surfing is tied to tides, limited to rare coastal breaks, and completely dependent on wave conditions. Most of the time, the perfect wave is out of reach. The water is everywhere, yet the chance to surf is far too rare. He refused to let geography or luck limit the joy of riding.
He held a simple, firm belief: surfing should be for everyone, everywhere—lakes, rivers, bays and calm coastal waters, no waves required.

He held a simple, firm belief: surfing should be for everyone, everywhere—lakes, rivers, bays and calm coastal waters, no waves required.
Driven by this vision, he took matters into his own hands. He tested every leading electric surfboard on the market, riding them repeatedly, dissecting designs, and evaluating real-world performance. What he discovered was clear: most existing boards were either overbuilt, clumsy, underpowered, or designed only for narrow conditions. None of them were truly built for real riders, real freedom, and the diverse waters of the world.
Unwilling to settle for compromise, he chose the harder, more honest path: to research, engineer and craft a board entirely on his own terms.
With no shortcuts and relentless attention to detail, he spent months iterating, testing, adjusting and refining. He optimized the powertrain for smooth, consistent thrust. He shaped the hull for stable, agile and natural handling. He balanced durability, weight and battery life to fit real adventure. Every decision was made for the rider, not for industry standards.
The result is a high-performance electric surfboard that unlocks surfing without limits. No waves required. No rare coastline required. No waiting required.
Lakes, rivers, quiet oceans—any water becomes your playground. Beginners will feel stable and confident. Experienced riders will feel speed, response and the pure thrill of carving across the water. This is the board he always wanted to ride. This is ZAIHAI.
ZAIHAI is for explorers, adventurers, dreamers and serious riders.
For those who know: freedom is not waiting for the perfect wave. It’s making your own.
