Another key difference in Awake's Rävik S Electric Surfboard lies in the powered motor, turning any body of water into your playground.

Imagine surfing on a serene lake or even on a snowy winter day — Awake’s electric surfboards make such scenarios possible. Sure, it will be cold, but think how exhilarating it would be. I admit this isn’t for everyone!


In addition, the Rävik S incorporates advanced waterproofing technologies and a durable hull comprised of a composite of carbon fiber layers reinforced with Innegra and a foam core. This will ensure that it can withstand harsh conditions and rough usage. With minimal maintenance, you can focus more on enjoying your time on the water.


Enhanced Power and Responsiveness of the Rävik S

One of the most anticipated upgrades in the new Rävik S model is its enhanced power and responsiveness. The upgraded 12-kW brushless motor and redesigned impeller boasts higher torque and faster acceleration, delivering an exhilarating surfing experience.
