ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

Established in 2018 in Shenzhen, widely considered China's Silicon Valley, Waydoo is a tech company that focuses on developing, manufacturing, and marketing intelligent water sports hardware. Initially started as a passion project by Dennis Zhu, the founder of TXA, one of China's leading producers of agricultural UAVs now partially owned by DJI, Waydoo has been on the track of rapid expansion since its inauguration. Thanks to the solid technological foundations laid down by TXA in structural design, hydromechanics, electrical engineering, industrial design, and manufacturing, our R&D team was able to launch our first ever eFoil surfboard - the Waydoo Flyer - in 2019, less than one year into the company's existence.
