What this video covers

A motorized SUP fin from Boost Surf arrives for an unboxing and setup review aboard the Beneteau 57. The Boost Surf fin installs as a drop-in replacement for a standard paddleboard fin, using a small magnetic screwdriver to mount and power on the unit.0:50 Chris notes the package includes a wrist-worn remote, a charger with both US and European adapters, a propeller guard for safety, and a board-specific fin adapter sent after he told the company his SUP type.1:17 Charging from near-full took 30–45 minutes; a full charge from empty takes about 2.5 hours.2:37 Three power modes — SUP Assist (up to 50 minutes), SUP Trolling (up to 40 minutes), and SUP Wind (up to 30 minutes) — suit anchorage use on a paddleboard.5:51 A companion app handles setup, tutorials, and settings including an auto-shutoff timer that defaults to 30 minutes of standby.6:29 The prop guard reduces efficiency slightly and is described as optional for adults.4:26 Chris plans to test the fin at Catalina Island to move around the anchorage without paddling.2:23
