This electric surfboard promises a new kind of thrill
The Awake Rvik S 22 offers 20 minutes of pure thrills. - ETX Studio
SWEDISH manufacturer Awake has unveiled its brand new electric surfboard, which can reach 56 km/h on the water. The Rävik S 22 lets surfers ride the waves, and do jumps, tricks and backflips, all at high speed.
On paper, this is without a doubt the most extreme surfboard out there. It's an enhanced version of the Rävik S, released two years ago, boasting more power, more thrust and a better overall experience. For example, it takes only four seconds to reach 50 km/h.
The surfboard's standard battery keeps it running for a maximum of 20 minutes. Fortunately, charging is relatively fast, taking about an hour and a half, so thrill-seekers can get back out there quickly. The Awake Rävik S 22 is out now, priced from €12,900 (approx. $14,750).
For the record, the all-electric specialist Tesla previously launched its own surfboards in 2018, although these were of the regular variety!
