First Production FluxJets Are Shipping. Here's What It Took.

Jason is back from the Bassmaster Classic with news we've been working toward for a long time: the first drive units off the production line have passed QC, and kayaks are going out the door next week.
Check out the full video update from the shop floor below:
The Engineering Milestone: Sub-Millimeter Consistently
The key breakthrough wasn't just hitting sub-millimeter tolerances on the revised motor can ā it was hitting them consistently, unit after unit.
Every drive unit coming off the line went through structured tank and on-water validation before sign-off. The result: all units falling within 1% variance across every variable. That is the standard we set, and that is what we hit.
This also confirms the performance numbers from our 36V lake test ā full voltage, current, and performance configuration validated at production spec.
Shipping Timeline
The first kayaks are going out next week on Tuesday. We originally targeted January, and we know the delay hasn't been ideal. We're not going to dress it up; we're obsessing over recovering that lost time.
- š¦ Early Pre-orders: Shipping next week (end of March)
- š April: Volume ramps as parts availability improves
- ā July: Targeting on-time delivery for most orders
- š September: Targeting early delivery as production scales
Sacramento & Bay Area Demo Days
We're finalising details for two Demo Days in April ā likely Sunday afternoons in the Sacramento area and a Bay Area location. Watch your inbox. We will open the RSVP list as soon as dates are locked. If you want to try-before-you-buy or even try one before your order ships, this is your chance.
Bassmaster Classic Recap
Bassmaster was a great chance to meet customers face to face and let people see the final platform in person. The response was exactly what we hoped for.
We're skipping the Florida Outdoor Expo to stay focused on getting kayaks built and delivered. Our next major event is iCAST, where we'll be back to defend our Best of Show title for modular innovative technology. We're coming back bigger and sharper.
Pre-Order ā Back-Order
As the first boats ship, we are officially transitioning from pre-order to back-order. 2026 production capacity is limited. Lock in your spot and color selection before real-world performance data goes public.
