In the celebration of applause and champagne, the reed ferry electric hydrofoil surfboard crossed the Qiongzhou Strait for the first time in the world was a complete success. In the morning, facing the morning sun, the challenger Liang Ge, EVA and the navigator Aaron set off from Xuwen, Zhanjiang, which lasted for 3 hours, and finally successfully landed in Haikou after experiencing many challenges such as scorching sun, high temperature and fog.
The Qiongzhou Strait is one of the three major straits in China, with an east-west length of about 80 kilometers, a maximum width of 39.5 kilometers from north to south, and a maximum depth of 114 meters. As the third largest strait in China, Qiongzhou Strait has always been favored by many water sports enthusiasts around the world.
Historically, there have been challengers who have successfully crossed the Qiongzhou Strait by swimming and paddling. Today, Weidu fills the gap in the crossing of the Qiongzhou Strait by electric hydrofoil surfboards, which is also the first time in human history that electric hydrofoil surfboards have been used to cross the Qiongzhou Strait. In order to witness this historic moment, Weidu specially invited Zhang Shaobo, a domestic sports documentary director who had filmed Gu Ailing and Su Yiming's youth documentaries, and Small Rig Smog, who focused on full-scene solutions for video equipment, to participate in the filming of this event.
Completing this crossing challenge is very difficult, and weather conditions, sea temperature, current speed, temperature, wind direction, and tide and wave conditions will all affect the crossing. You know, the use of electric hydrofoil surfboards in the vast sea is no better than usual surfing in still water. The weather at sea is unpredictable, with clear skies one second and dark clouds the next.
Soon after the departure of the crossing team, it encountered a fog situation, and the visibility of the vast sea was less than 50 meters, which was very difficult for the challenger, on the one hand, to keep up with the pilot ship at all times and maintain the correct forward route, on the other hand, to avoid the huge waves brought by the tail wave of the pilot ship, which made the challenger feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, this challenge is equipped with a sufficiently rich logistics support team and various technical equipment support to ensure the smooth completion of the activity.
After the successful landing, EVA talked about the feeling of crossing the Qiongzhou Strait this time, she said that the process was difficult, but the result was good, and that was enough! Liang Ge said that being able to successfully cross the Qiongzhou Strait was the best birthday gift for his 50th birthday.
Everyone said that under the epidemic, we need such a successful challenge to inspire the people of the whole country, even in such a difficult environment, we can not give up exercise, give up the challenge.
As a global leader in the field of electric hydrofoil surfboard, Weidu Intelligent Technology is a high-tech enterprise integrating R&D, production and sales, and is committed to allowing more people to enjoy the fun of water sports.
The success of this crossing is inseparable from the structural design and working principle of the Waydoo Flyer ONE electric hydrofoil surfboard. The surfboard cleverly borrows the flight principle of fixed-wing aircraft, using hydrofoils, motors and propellers to create an underwater electric "aircraft", and the challenger can achieve water flight by standing on the "aircraft" through the board body. The power equipment adopts high-precision brushless DC motor, and the whole machine reaches the waterproof level of IP67, while taking into account excellent performance and reliable safety.
The modular design of the whole machine, which can be quickly disassembled and installed, has been fully reflected in today's crossing process, when the battery is exhausted, the challenger only needs to approach the support boat, take out the battery on his own surfboard, and then quickly install the spare battery on the boat. As the world's first electric hydrofoil surfboard enterprise across the Qiongzhou Strait, Weidu Intelligent Technology will create more miracles in the future.
The world of the future is electric, and humanity is irreversibly accelerating into a new energy era! Let's protect the blue planet with green power together!
