The motor should be powerful enough, as pacifcmeister(creator of this forum) uses a simialar but slightly smaller motor (56104,500kv). You should look into [his design](http://efoil.builders/t/pacificmeister-build-info-and-cad-sources/21?u=flo), even if you build your own as he has a really good documentation.  
I encurage everyone to share his progress, as even mistakes can be useful to understand the topic better.  
One particularly useful graph about the power and thrust requirements for a custom desgin can be found on this forum: [Board / Surfboard blanks - #4 by flyingchris - Foils & Boards - FOIL.zone](http://efoil.builders/t/board-surfboard-blanks/297/4?u=flo)

How did you build your surfboard?
