"As an Olympic sailor, communication during training is key to improving performance - and BB Talkin EU has completely transformed the way I train on the water. Their waterproof intercom systems are incredibly reliable, even in the harshest sailing conditions. Thanks to their gear, I can stay constantly connected with my coach during sessions, which makes feedback immediate and progress faster.

"As a father-son duo passionate about surfing, we’ve been using the Bbtalkin waterproof intercom system for several years now, and it’s truly revolutionized our time on the water.
Ben, who is blind, relies on clear, real-time communication to navigate pool, river and ocean waves safely, and this system has made that possible in ways we never imagined. The Bluetooth long-distance intercom allows me to guide Ben from the shore or nearby in the water, describing wave positions, timing, and directions with crystal-clear audio that cuts through the ocean noise.
We’ve found the IPX7 waterproof rating to be rock-solid; even after countless wipeouts and submersion in salty waves, the units keep performing without a hitch. The hands-free design is essential for a sport like surfing, as surfers need to focus entirely on their balance and intuition without fumbling with devices.
During coaching sessions, the full-duplex communication means we can talk simultaneously—no awkward pauses or one-way shouting, which helps build Ben’s confidence and refine his technique on the spot. Safety is our top priority in blind surfing, and this intercom has drastically reduced risks by ensuring Ben gets instant feedback on approaching waves or potential hazards.
The superior voice clarity is impressive; wind, waves, and in range distance don’t distort the sound, making every instruction precise and reliable. All of Ben’s coaches love the surf cap headset option, which fits comfortably and stays secure even on big swells up to several meters high."
"Battery life lasts through full-day sessions, often up to 10 hours, so we never worry about mid-surf power failures. The range is outstanding-up to 1,000 meters in open water, which gives me flexibility to position myself optimally without losing connection. Setting it up is straightforward; pairing the units takes seconds, and the intuitive controls are easy even for someone like Ben who navigates by touch.
We’ve used it in various conditions, from wave pools in Switzerland and Munich to rough ocean breaks in El Salvador and Indonesia, and it handles everything with ease. The build quality feels premium, with rugged casings that resist impacts and corrosion from saltwater exposure.
As Ben’s dad, I appreciate how this system turns potentially frustrating sessions into enjoyable, productive ones, fostering our bond while pushing Ben’s limits. For blind surfing, it’s not just helpful, it’s essential, allowing Ben to “see” the waves through my voice in real time.
The multi-user capability means we can include coaches in group talks, enhancing team training dynamics. We’ve also tested it in rainy, windy weather during European competitions, and the noise-canceling mics keep conversations crisp. Durability-wise, after months of heavy use, there’s no wear on the connectors or headsets, proving its high-quality construction.
Overall, the Bbtalkin system has elevated Ben’s surfing journey from challenging to triumphant, helping him win medals and inspire others. We can’t recommend it enough, it’s worth every penny for anyone in wa-er sports, especially those needing reliable coaching tools.
If you’re looking for a waterproof intercom that prioritizes safety, clarity, and performance, this is the one. Five stars all the way; it’s transformed how we surf together!"

"BB Talkin radios are absolutely outstanding for teaching and staying connected with students, especially once they start riding and head out on the water. The communication is crystal clear, reliable, and being able to speak to up to three students independently makes my lessons so much more effective.
The battery life is incredible—it easily lasts through long sessions—and the radios are simple to use even in challenging conditions. These have truly taken my coaching to the next level! Highly recommend BB Talkin radios to any instructors or coaches looking to improve communication and safety. I love them!"

- Josep Pons
"Great product.
I'm using it for kitesurf lessons for 3 years already and still working.
Be prepared to buy extra spare parts as speakers and microphones as they don't last long as stations.
Be very responsible with the maintenance - cleaning and drying every time - it's matter."
- Yani Galiov - Kiteboard coach
"The best gear if you take coaching seriously! It’s so much better to give immediate feedback. The quality of coaching improves a lot with clear communication, so I definitely recommend using it for watersports."
