Swedish electric surfboard manufacturer Awake has released an innovative electric surf board.

Costing US$8,900, the price is aimed at making the sport accessible to complete beginners while maintaining appeal for experienced riders.

The Rävik Explore features a redesigned shape with increased volume for enhanced stability, complemented by dual channels in the hull and a front rocker that preserves manoeuvrability. According to the company, new riders can master the basics in about a minute.Rävik Explorer

Significant weight reductions have been achieved in the board's power system. The new XR 4 Battery is 6 kg lighter than its predecessor, while the LR 4 Battery sees an 8 kg reduction, making the board more portable without compromising ride duration.

The company has also revamped the hand controller, eliminating the need for app connectivity or a traditional power key leash. The updated controller features an enhanced heads-up display and allows riders to switch between difficulty modes with a few taps.

"We've always believed that the future of watersports should be both high-performance and user-friendly," says Christos, head of marketing at Awake. "The Rävik Explore is our response to the overwhelming demand for a board that beginners can master quickly—while still exciting experienced riders. It's a testament to our dedication to making electric surfboards accessible for everyone, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with the world."

The board includes practical features such as strategically placed handles above the jet and along the sides for easier transportation. Built with durability in mind, it targets both private owners and commercial operators in the rental, hospitality, and watersports education sectors.

The Rävik Explore is available for pre-order for summer 2025 delivery through the company's website.
