Toolbox & spares checklist

Everything worth owning for a JetSurf, in the order you'll need it — what lives in the board bag, what the after-ride clean takes, what to keep on the shelf, and what only matters once you service or travel with the board.

In the board bag, every session

The kit that should never come out of the bag. Most of it ships with the board — replace anything that's missing before you need it.

Spares

Two magnet keys

One on you, one spare. The board won't start without one, and they're easy to lose in the water.

Engine shut-off key →
Spares

Spare spark plugs

At least two, gapped. A fouled plug is the most common reason a session ends early.

Tools

The JETSURF tool kit

The bag that came with the board — hex keys, plug wrench, spare parts. Check it's complete.

Handling

Board stand

Holds the board for fin fitting, draining and cleaning. Folds flat into the bag.

Safety

Leash

Coiled leash worn on your arm, so the board stays with you — and the kill-switch magnet with it.

Handling

Towel and dry bag

A towel for the plug and your hands, and somewhere dry for a phone and keys.

After every ride

The flush and clean is what decides whether the board needs major service in two years or five. Salt water: same day, every time.

Cooling

Cooling flush attachment

Connects a garden hose to the cooling system so fresh water runs through the engine and exhaust.

Cleaning attachment →
Cleaning

Garden hose

Ideally with a trigger nozzle so you can control the spray around the engine bay.

Protection

Lubricant spray

A board-safe water-displacing spray for the engine bay and moving parts after it dries — GT85, WD-40 or similar.

Cleaning

Sponge and second towel

For the bay, the bindings and the handle. Keep them out of the sand.

Fuel and mixing — gas boards

Mix at home, label the can, and keep one can for mix only.

Oil

Fully synthetic 2T oil

Motorex Cross Power 2T or equivalent. Never car oil, never cheap outboard oil.

Motorex Cross Power 2T →
Measuring

Ratio mixing bottle

A quart bottle with 50:1 graduations — fill oil to the line for your gas amount and pour. Far better than eyeballing.

Scepter mixing bottle →
Storage

Dedicated gas can

A 5-gallon can with a controlled spout, kept for 50:1 mix only and labelled with the date.

Scepter 5 gal gas can →
Measuring

Funnel

Keeps the fill clean when the tank is back in the board.

Spares and consumables

What to have on the shelf so a small problem doesn't cost you a weekend.

Tools

Spark plug wrench

The combination wrench that ships with every board. A race-specific version is available too.

Spares

Fins

A spare set of side fins and a centre fin — they take the hit in shallow water.

Spares

Binding hardware

Spare binding and pad bolts, and the right hex key. They loosen and they drop in the water.

Diagnostics

Spark plug tester

Confirms you have spark before you start pulling the engine apart.

Spark plug tester →

Electric boards

Different kit entirely — no fuel, no plugs, but the connectors and covers matter more.

Charging

The charger and its bag

Charges the battery inside its bag. Standard mode for riding, storage mode (50%) between seasons.

Protection

Connector covers

One for the board bay, one for the battery. The cover goes on before the board gets washed.

Tools

Rubber key and Allen key

For the engine-bay cap and the motor-compartment lid. They live in the board — keep them there.

Cooling

Cooling-line flush fitting

Flushes the motor cooling line after every ride, same idea as the gas flush attachment.

Safety kit

The minimum for a session, and what the race classes require.

Body

Buoyancy aid or impact vest

Buoyancy plus rib and back protection, cut so it doesn't limit your reach.

Jet Pilot neoprene vest →
Hands

Gloves

Grip and blister protection on the throttle hand, thin enough to keep the feel.

Gloves on Amazon →
Water

Wetsuit

Depending on the water temperature where you ride.

Workshop and travel

Not needed for a session — needed the first time you service or move the board.

Charging

DFI charger

The current wall charger for gas boards. Older carbureted boards also need the 4-pin to 2-pin reduction.

Charger Complete DFI →
Charging

4-pin to 2-pin reduction

Only for carbureted boards and Race or Race Titanium up to 2019.

Reduction for charger →
Tools

Small torque driver

For binding and cover bolts, so they're tight without being stripped.

Travel

Board bag, pool noodles, stretch wrap

What actually protects a board in transit when the factory box is gone.

Links go to jetsurfusa.com, jetsurf.com or Amazon so you can see the current item and price — we don't sell parts. Anything without a link is generic: buy whatever brand you like. Not sure what fits your board? WhatsApp us with your model and year.
