Everything ships inside the board bag. Work from the back of the board forward, and set each item aside as you unpack — a couple of these you'll need every time you ride, and one of them you can't start the board without.
What's in the box
0:31 · Foam protector — fits over the back of the board. Don't throw it away — you'll need it for transport and storage.
0:43 · Wheels — a set of wheels for the board bag, for wheeling it around.
0:47 · Stand — the stand for the board.
0:52 · Warranty & documents — a QR code to register the warranty, plus your certificate and other paperwork.
1:03 · User manual — packed at the front ("up") end of the board.
1:04 · Toolkit — in its own zip bag in the middle of the board (contents below).
2:06 · Fins — the main FCS fin plate, the main FCS fin, and two side fins.
Inside the toolkit
4 mm hex screwdriver — fins and general bolts around the board
Spark plug spanner
Spare spark plug (in the compartments)
Flushing tool — for flushing the jet out
Throttle restrictor — if you want to limit the throttle
Spark plug testing tool
Spare nuts and bolts (two lots)
Spare lanyard
Charger with international plug adapters
Two magnet bracelets — this is what starts the board
Tip: keep the foam protector and both magnet bracelets somewhere you won't lose them. The foam protector goes back on for every transport; the magnet is the only way to start the board, so keep the spare separate from the one you ride with.
Caution: register the warranty from the QR code before you ride, and read the user manual first — a new board out of the bag still needs the fins fitted and a full pre-ride check.
Written up by riders from the manufacturer walkthrough above and our own time with these boards — not official JETSURF documentation. Procedures, torque figures and service intervals vary by model and year: check your owner's manual, and if a job is beyond you, book it with a service centre. Work on your board at your own risk.
