Only 100m range on remote. You would be doing some pumping or paddling back to it??
Would be interesting in a crowded line up
I've had one for over a year now and it's the most fun on foil I've had . No need to go near crowds just motor down the beach and find something by yourself . I get wave after wave while the prone guys sit there waiting for the right one . I can catch a swell way out the back before it's even looking like breaking . Some of the most fun waves I've had stand up on a bomie but don't break so no one else out or maybe one other . I'm old and have never surfed so don't think I could prone even with a lot of practice . I have an early version with no steering so I have to point it in the right direction and pump or paddle over to it afterward. This new one with steering would be easy to turn and motor back to you , ready to go again. Mmm might have to update
I'm the guy behind the Boogie, feel free to ask any questions.
Regarding the range, I've spend hundreds of hours behind the boogie during testing. 100m is plenty, as the Boogie can follow you using GPS. Range is a lot more when you are up in the foil high above the water, but only around 100m in rough water with your hand up, which is line of sight.
The same courtesy and rules apply to a Boogie as a PWC or an efoil. Stay away from people, which is easy because there are so many great untouched locations that surfers can't use.

Welcome to The Breeze Mr boogie man..
Shame I missed you at Merimbula but I would have loved to have a go.. It looked amazing just watching from the shore..
Everyone I talked to about it raved about how cool it was.. Good luck with getting sales and I hope it takes off for you.. It's come a long way since the battery on a boogie board testing days..

First of all, well done on the user name, bravo
Any testing done in DW conditions? Like can it tow you up and follow you as you make your way down wind?
It can, but the ocean is really big, and the Boogie is small in comparison. You hear about the pros all starting together and with in minutes they don't know where everyone else is, and that with everyone 2 meters above the water.
I've done quite a few upwind/ downwind runs where you punch out 1-2km directly upwind, then turn round and run back to the beach. If you loose track of the boogie it will just end up on the beach.
Also tried on lakes, hugging the shore or in a bay, in the smooth water, then out in to the wind and swell line and have a few hundred meter run. then repeat.
The boogie uses a surprising amount of power just propelling its self at DW speeds, towing a foil doesn't add too much.
For learning big open ocean downwind a proper dw board or a Foildrive is the better option.
