The best water rides for in, on and under the waves

Swedish electric surfboard builders Awake who builds high-performance electric surfboards – Awake Boards – that propels the rider up to speeds over 50 kph in mere seconds. The speed is controlled by a wireless hand controller remotely connected to the Awake Boards. You steer by simply shifting your balance, just like on a regular surfboard

The Awake RÄVIK 3 - the next step in an evolving category, is the culmination of everything we’ve learned making high-performance electric surfboards, and a lifetime spent on the water; a board that’s perfect for both cruising and racing. It’s quieter with improved acceleration, an improved motor, and an even more intuitive hand controller. Combine all that with a completely new hull construction and design, and you have a board ready to provide extreme thrills or something a little more relaxed; whatever you choose - you’ll have fun out there

Patent Pending - Model-specific rocker design

The board's nose, the 'rocker' curve, will affect the board's agility and its ability to fit into the water in different conditions. The rocker design you choose depends on how aggressively you want to ride and the water conditions you prefer to ride in, from a smooth glide at high speed or heavy turns and jumps in chop or steep waves. Awake offers three different rocker designs: smooth, dynamic, and aggressive.

As Awake CEO Daniel Aronsson explained in truly epic fashion:

“By combining the learnings and market feedback from both Awake RÄVIK ONE and Awake RÄVIK S, we created the Awake RÄVIK 3 — perfect for the demanding action water sports enthusiast who is looking for a versatile electric surfboard with stable high-speed cruising capabilities, combined with agile race-characteristics. It is simply a board to grow with and will challenge you in your own pace”

This is the Ferrari of electric surfboards we’re talking about here. Awake’s other boards reach even higher speeds than this one, rocketing along at 56 km/h (35 mph). They also have a 0-50 km/h (0-31 mph) time of four seconds thanks to an 11 kW (15 hp) motor. These things are like jet skis that you can carry to the water under your arm and then prop up in your apartment closet when you’re done.

While the promotional videos for electric surfboards tend to look "extreme", the reality is that most feel more pedalo than powerful. However, Awake’s new composite carbon-fibre design could shake things up with a shorter, lighter, more aggressive surfboard style that, slimming the tail and softening the edges, the rider can carve harder and tighter in the water. With multiple safety sensors and a "dead man’s grip" function on the wireless controller, the board can’t speed off without its rider.
