Waydoo JET Review | My Experience On Three Wings and Flyer One eFoil Jet

My experience and review of the Waydoo JET propulsion system. A great alternative propulsion option that I believe will benefit most beginners. Some experienced riders may find this alternative propulsion more suitable to their style.
Those who are concerned about exposed props will love the jet. The Jet is more efficient than I was expecting but lacks top speed and power comparatively. It *may be challenging for heavier riders to elevate above the water.
More testing is needed to evaluate use with heavier riders, beginner interaction and opinions, and additional aggressive riding. A follow-up review in a future video may cover these additional points.

🧂 Take with a grain of salt. My Waydoo eFoil is the original Kickstarter Waydoo Flyer One, nearly 3 years old, but with a newer battery (less than 1 year old).
This is also my first efoil jet propulsion experience. I can not compare to other jets at this time.

OUTLINE (from the beginning of the video):

Acceleration
Gradual and Linear.
The acceleration trigger is less sensitive, as if it l has more range of motion, though it doesn't
Need more power to get up

Traction
More traction and stability due to extra hardware running through the water
More drag than an open prop, but less than expected and surprisingly efficient

Efficiency
More efficient than original 3 blade plastic prop
Patroller Wing efficient speed Range results:
Original three-blade prop 9.6 miles
Folding Prop 13 miles
Jet 10.2 miles
Explorer Wing + three-blade prop 10.7 miles
Explorer + Folding Prop 14.1 miles
Explorer + Jet = 12.2
Gliding 1500 Wing + Jet 13 miles
other propulsion not tested

Breaching
Breach recovery is easy.
Recovery is the 2nd easiest of Waydoo's propulsion
Original 3 blade is easiest, jet is 2nd, folding prop is 3rd

Top Speed
Top speed is limited to 21 mph 34 km/h
Pointless to use power levels higher than "Gear 20."

Sound
Sound and volume is similar to Original 3 blade prop but a bit louder with more vibration, especially at higher speeds.
Communication is still possible between riders, especially when teaching at lower speeds

Safer Shielded Propulsion
Openings are fractionally smaller than previously used "Prop Guards" in the eFoil industry.
Chances of an appendage entering the jet system are extremely tiny to zero.
Proper fall techniques, including releasing the accelerator are still most important
Beginner Friendly & Potentially Pleasing to Experienced Riders Too
Most Beginners will benefit from the more gradual acceleration, extra traction, and shielded propulsion.
Heavier riders may have a challenge getting enough power to elevate out of the water.
Experienced riders who like low to moderate speeds may prefer the jet over other options. The jet is not just for beginners, but can suit different styles.
