This application includes an electric powered surfboard equipped with drive units that emerge out onto the surfboard's bottom surface to power it forward. Once a wave is caught the drive units can retract back up into the surfboard's body as the power is shut off by the surfer. Then instantly, flush fitting glide doors close, allowing the surfboard's bottom to return to a planing surface with no protrusions, except for fins to detract from the surfboard's critical gliding ability when surfing waves. Also, there's a crowned deck shape that allows thin rail sensitivity for turning performance and a motor battery arrangement that provides mass centralization of weight. All this, combined with several wireless control means define this new fine handling motorized surfboard.
