H5-F Premium Full Carbon Fibre Electric Surfboard – Vector Carbon One

The H5-F Electric Surfboard marks the transition from advanced recreational performance into true high-output electric surf technology within the Vector Water Craft range. Designed for riders who want noticeably stronger acceleration, higher sustained speed, and professional-grade durability, the H5-F combines a powerful propulsion system, reinforced composite construction, and European-standard electrical safety architecture to deliver a serious performance electric surfboard engineered specifically for Australian marine conditions.

Positioned above the JF-series boards, the H5-F is intended for confident riders, performance enthusiasts, training professionals, and commercial operators who require higher power reserves, stronger structural integrity, and uncompromising reliability. This is not a lightweight leisure toy. The H5-F is a purpose-built electric watercraft designed to perform consistently under load, heat, and repeated high-output use.

High-Output Performance Electric Drive System

At the core of the H5-F is a high-power brushless marine propulsion unit engineered for rapid acceleration and sustained performance. Compared with mid-range boards, the H5-F delivers significantly higher torque and thrust, allowing riders to plane instantly, hold speed in chop, and carve aggressively without loss of power.

Key propulsion advantages include:

• Substantially higher peak torque for explosive starts and fast planing
• Strong continuous power delivery for sustained high-speed cruising
• Optimised impeller and duct geometry to minimise cavitation and maximise thrust efficiency
• Precision-balanced drive components for smooth, vibration-free operation
• Fully sealed cooling and corrosion-resistant motor housing

This drive system allows the H5-F to carry heavier riders, maintain speed in coastal swell, and operate reliably across a wider performance envelope than entry and mid-level boards.

European-Standard Battery Safety and Power Platform

Battery safety and reliability remain central to the design philosophy of the H5-F. In a market increasingly affected by lithium charging fires and uncertified battery systems, Vector Water Craft specifies European-compliant battery architecture with comprehensive protection systems built in.

The H5-F battery platform includes:

• Certified lithium battery cells compliant with European electrical and marine safety standards
• Intelligent multi-layer Battery Management System (BMS)
• Over-charge, over-discharge, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection
• Active cell balancing for extended battery life and stable output
• Sealed, impact-resistant waterproof battery enclosure

This system delivers not only higher output but also a dramatically higher level of safety compared with low-cost imported boards. Charging is controlled, predictable, and suitable for home garages, marinas, and professional storage facilities. The result is higher confidence, longer service life, and stable performance even in warm Australian conditions.

Performance-Focused Hull and Rail Architecture

The H5-F hull has been designed specifically to handle higher speeds and stronger propulsion loads. A performance-tuned rocker profile, refined chine geometry, and reinforced rail design provide exceptional stability and control across the full speed range.

Handling characteristics include:

• High-speed directional stability for confident open-water operation
• Fast planing transition with reduced drag and bow rise
• Sharp rail engagement for aggressive carving and turning
• Predictable trim control under acceleration
• Reduced spray and clean water flow at sustained speed

This design allows the H5-F to perform equally well on flat inland waterways, open bays, and sheltered coastal zones where speed and control are critical.

Reinforced High-Strength Composite Construction

To support its higher output and performance role, the H5-F employs a reinforced composite laminate structure with additional carbon and load-zone reinforcement.

Construction benefits include:

• Exceptional torsional rigidity for precise handling at speed
• Increased impact resistance for coastal and jetty operation
• Reduced flex for efficient power transfer from motor to water
• Long-term fatigue resistance under repeated high-load cycles

The deck is finished with a premium multi-density EVA traction system providing maximum grip during acceleration and carving, while remaining comfortable for extended sessions. This level of construction places the H5-F firmly in the professional-grade category rather than consumer leisure products.

Advanced Wireless Control and Multi-Layer Safety Systems

The H5-F is supplied with a next-generation waterproof wireless controller featuring refined throttle mapping and high-stability signal architecture. Power delivery is progressive and linear, allowing precise modulation from low-speed manoeuvring through to full-output riding.

Integrated safety systems include:

• Dead-man trigger system with instantaneous motor shut-down
• Encrypted wireless communication to prevent cross-signal interference
• Automatic neutral and arming sequence on power-up
• Emergency isolation circuit for immediate power disconnection
• Continuous controller-to-board link monitoring

These systems ensure that the board always defaults to a safe state, protecting riders, swimmers, and surrounding vessels in all operating conditions.

Superior Thermal Management for High-Output Riding

High-power electric surfboards generate significant heat in motors, controllers, and battery systems – particularly in warm Australian waters. The H5-F incorporates advanced sealed liquid-assisted cooling and intelligent thermal control algorithms to maintain stable operating temperatures even during extended high-speed sessions.

This delivers:

• Stable output without thermal throttling
• Extended component lifespan
• Reduced battery degradation
• Reliable summer operation in high ambient temperatures

Thermal resilience is essential for professional training, resort fleets, and performance riders who operate continuously.

Designed for Serviceability and Long-Term Ownership

Unlike sealed consumer boards, the H5-F is engineered as a serviceable electric watercraft platform. Modular system architecture allows straightforward access to:

• Battery modules
• Motor and drive assembly
• Electronic controller units
• Cooling and sealing systems

This supports long-term ownership, commercial fleet operation, and future technology upgrades as battery and motor systems continue to evolve. Vector Water Craft maintains long-term spare parts support and technical documentation to protect owner investment.

Ideal Rider Profiles and Applications

The H5-F is ideally suited to:

• Advanced recreational riders seeking high-power performance
• Fitness and high-intensity water training programs
• Professional surf schools and demonstration fleets
• Resorts and luxury waterfront developments
• Commercial hire operators requiring premium reliability

Its combination of power, control, and durability makes it one of the most versatile high-performance electric surfboards in the Australian premium category.

Built Specifically for Australian Marine Conditions

Every element of the H5-F has been selected to withstand Australia’s demanding marine environment – salt exposure, UV radiation, high temperatures, and continuous operation.

From sealed electronics to corrosion-resistant hardware and UV-stable finishes, this board is engineered for real-world Australian use rather than showroom performance only.

Why the H5-F Represents a True Performance Platform

The H5-F stands apart through its disciplined engineering and professional design philosophy:

• High-output propulsion with sustained power delivery
• European-standard battery and charging safety systems
• Performance-tuned hull and rail geometry
• Reinforced composite construction
• Advanced thermal management
• Full serviceability and upgrade capability

It delivers the acceleration, speed, and control performance riders want, combined with the reliability and safety standards demanded by serious owners and commercial operators.
