Swedish company Awake recently unveiled the Rävik — a high-powered electric surfboard meant to disrupt the watercraft industry. If you’ve got a need for speed, you’ll want to check this out.
Watersports are going the way of the motor. While still a niche product, the electric surfboard is catching on. And Awake’s Rävik might be the one rig to rule them all. This stylish watercraft is the first in a series catering to thrillseekers, capable of thrusting riders from 0-30 miles per hour in under four seconds!
This machine is the result of 18 months of development, testing, and perfecting. Awake designed the Rävik to get your adrenaline pumping. While traditional surfing is loads of fun, it requires waves for real excitement.
To ride the Rävik, however, just add water.
Awake Rävik Electric Surfboard
The key component is the patent-pending Awake Direct drivetrain. A brushless 11-kilowatt motor provides heavy torque and carries riders along at speeds up to 35 miles per hour. Though, it’s not quite the fastest electric surfboard we’ve seen; the Lampuga Boost claims its top speed is 38 miles per hour.
At 77 pounds, this full-carbon longboard is lightweight for its class and according to Awake, durable enough to withstand hard impacts. Its “hydrodynamic” body aims to smoothly cut through ocean chop or glide across a glassy lake.
