The Watercraft Journal received a press release from Radinn announcing their approval to bring the X-Sport to market as a rental, making Radinn the first to bring an electric jetboard into the rental industry. The crew spent years testing and developing the Radinn X-Sport model to get it ready for the rental market.
The X-Sport is the company’s most durable and stable model, which makes it perfect for rental purposes. The battery is on point as well, as it is the only battery in the industry that can withstand multiple charges per day. Radinn’s venture into the rental business brings them closer to their goal of bringing surfing to everyone.
“Our vision as a company is to bring the dream of surfing to the people, regardless of weather, surf experience or location,” says Chief Product Officer Martin Malmqvist. “We are excited to increase access to the sport and become the first company in the world to offer a rental-ready and warranty-backed jetboard.”

Malmö, Sweden: Radinn, the world’s first mass-produced jetboard company, today announced that their X-Sport model is approved for rental purposes. The news, which comes after years of extensive testing, developing a surf club proof of concept and R&D protocols, opens up new possibilities within the tourism and water sport markets.
“Our vision as a company is to bring the dream of surfing to the people, regardless of weather, surf experience or location,” says Chief Product Officer Martin Malmqvist.
“We are excited to increase access to the sport and become the first company in the world to offer a rental-ready and warranty-backed jetboard.”
Released late last year, the X-Sport has seen continuous improvements to its driveline and software. This has increased the overall stability of the jetboard, specifically when it comes to safety and the lifetime of the battery.
Says Malmqvist, “Our latest electronics and software development means more resistance to duress of different types. We’re currently the only player in our sector that offers a battery capable of withstanding charging and depleting several times a day, as is common in a rental situation. Our new warranty reflects this use case, so rental companies can feel confident in expanding their portfolio with this completely new and fun activity.”
The Radinn X-Sport starts at $12,995 / €13.145 excluding VAT and is available for purchase online.
