H5SE High-Performance Electric Surfboard – Vector Edge

The H5-SE Electric Surfboard has been engineered as a premium endurance and performance platform within the Vector Water Craft electric surfboard range. Designed for riders who value extended ride time, refined power delivery, and uncompromising safety, the H5-SE blends a high-capacity European-standard battery system, a high-efficiency propulsion unit, and reinforced composite construction to deliver a long-range electric surf experience suitable for both advanced recreational use and professional commercial deployment.

Positioned alongside the H5-F but tuned for greater efficiency and endurance, the H5-SE is ideal for riders who want sustained cruising capability without sacrificing acceleration, control, or reliability. It is not a leisure novelty product. The H5-SE is a serious electric watercraft platform designed to perform consistently in Australian marine environments.

High-Efficiency Performance Electric Drive System

At the heart of the H5-SE is a refined brushless marine motor optimised for efficiency, smooth power delivery, and long-duration operation. While delivering strong acceleration when required, the propulsion system is specifically tuned to maximise range and minimise energy consumption during cruising.

Key propulsion advantages include:

• Strong mid-range torque for smooth, confident planing
• Progressive throttle response for precise speed modulation
• Optimised impeller and duct geometry to reduce cavitation losses
• Low-vibration, quiet operation for rider comfort
• Fully sealed cooling channels and corrosion-resistant housings

This system allows the H5-SE to deliver extended ride sessions while maintaining stable performance in variable water conditions.

High-Capacity European-Certified Battery and Power Architecture

The defining feature of the H5-SE is its long-range battery platform. In response to Australia’s growing concerns regarding lithium battery safety, Vector Water Craft specifies European-certified battery technology with comprehensive protection systems integrated at multiple levels.

The H5-SE battery system incorporates:

• Marine-rated lithium cells compliant with European electrical and safety standards
• Intelligent multi-layer Battery Management System (BMS)
• Over-charge, over-discharge, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection
• Active cell balancing to maintain uniform output and extend service life
• Fully sealed, impact-resistant waterproof battery enclosure

This architecture provides both extended range and a significantly higher level of operational safety than uncertified imported systems. Charging is stable, predictable, and suitable for residential, marina, and commercial environments. The result is longer sessions, lower battery stress, and exceptional peace of mind for private and professional users alike.

Endurance-Tuned Hull Design and Hydrodynamic Efficiency

The H5-SE hull has been carefully tuned to maximise hydrodynamic efficiency at cruising speeds while retaining excellent stability and carving capability. A refined rocker profile, extended effective waterline, and optimised chine geometry reduce drag and improve lift efficiency.

Handling characteristics include:

• Outstanding directional stability for long-distance runs
• Smooth, low-drag planing transition
• Predictable carving response under continuous load
• Reduced spray and clean water release at cruising speed
• Excellent trim stability for energy-efficient operation

This design makes the H5-SE particularly well suited to bays, rivers, large lakes, and coastal cruising where range and ride comfort are priorities.

Reinforced Composite Construction for Long-Duty Cycles

To support extended operating time and repeated duty cycles, the H5-SE employs a reinforced composite laminate structure with targeted carbon and load-zone reinforcement.

Construction benefits include:

• High torsional rigidity for precise tracking over long sessions
• Increased impact resistance for jetty and shoreline operation
• Reduced flex for improved propulsion efficiency
• Long-term fatigue resistance under continuous load

The deck features a premium multi-zone EVA traction system providing secure stance control during both cruising and dynamic manoeuvres. This level of construction positions the H5-SE firmly in the commercial-grade category rather than consumer leisure equipment.

Advanced Wireless Control and Comprehensive Safety Architecture

The H5-SE is supplied with an advanced waterproof wireless controller offering refined throttle mapping and exceptional signal stability. Throttle response is smooth and progressive, allowing precise modulation for low-speed manoeuvring and efficient cruising.

Integrated safety systems include:

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

These systems ensure the board always defaults to a safe state, protecting riders and nearby water users at all times.

Advanced Thermal Management for Long-Range Operation

Extended riding sessions place continuous thermal loads on electric drive systems. The H5-SE incorporates sealed liquid-assisted cooling and intelligent thermal regulation to maintain stable temperatures across motor, controller, and battery components.

This delivers:

• Consistent output without thermal throttling
• Extended component lifespan
• Reduced battery degradation over time
• Reliable operation in high ambient temperatures

This thermal stability is essential for Australian summer conditions and professional fleet applications.

Designed for Professional Ownership and Serviceability

The H5-SE is engineered as a fully serviceable electric watercraft rather than a sealed consumer appliance. Modular architecture allows efficient access to:

• Battery modules
• Motor and drive assemblies
• Electronic controller systems
• Cooling and sealing components

This ensures long-term serviceability, fleet viability, and upgrade potential as technology evolves. Vector Water Craft supports the H5-SE with long-term parts availability and technical documentation to protect owner investment.

Ideal Rider Profiles and Applications

The H5-SE is ideally suited to:

• Advanced recreational riders seeking extended range
• Long-distance cruising and endurance sessions
• Resorts and luxury waterfront developments
• Professional instruction and guided water experiences
• Commercial hire and demonstration fleets

Its combination of endurance, smooth power delivery, and professional-grade reliability makes it one of the most versatile long-range electric surfboards available.

Engineered for Australian Marine Conditions

Every component of the H5-SE has been selected to withstand Australia’s demanding marine environment – salt exposure, UV radiation, heat, and continuous operation.

From sealed electronics to corrosion-resistant hardware and UV-stable finishes, this board is designed for long-term performance rather than short-term showroom appeal.

Why the H5-SE Is the Endurance Performance Benchmark

The H5-SE stands apart through its endurance-focused engineering philosophy:

• High-capacity European-standard battery system
• Efficiency-optimised propulsion platform
• Hydrodynamically efficient hull design
• Reinforced composite construction
• Advanced thermal and safety management
• Full serviceability and upgrade capability

It delivers the range, comfort, and reliability demanded by serious riders and professional operators, without sacrificing performance or control.
