By motorizing your surfboard and jetting through the water, electric surfboards allow you to surf virtually anywhere. Jet boards offer some of the most exciting and adrenaline-filled water sports experiences despite flat water conditions.
Even in some of the best surf spots in the world with perfect breaking waves, weather and sea conditions still play a significant role in your surfing experience. That is, unless you own an electric surfboard.
There are three key characteristics of the best electric surfboards: they are lightweight, fast, and have a long ride time. The Board eFoil, for example, is propelled by a hydrofoil, and some have jet ski-style propellers. In addition to being portable, jet boards can be customized in a variety of ways.
Awake RAVIK 3 & RAVIK S Electric Surfboard
The RAVIK electric surfboard from Awake is without a doubt one of the coolest watersports products available. At Awake’s headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, we were able to test both the RAVIK 3 and RAVIK S.
RAVIK boards are incredibly fun to surf, even when there are no waves. Comparatively to other electric watersports products, the batteries last a long time.
As we viewed the RAVIK boards, we wondered if they would live up to their excellent reviews. The only way for us to determine just how good these boards are was to test them out for ourselves. Speeds, batteries, specs, and fun were all checked out.

Radinn Carve Electric Surfboard
There is a growing interest in electric surfboards. For its design and–most importantly–the experience of carving through water, the Radinn Carve deserves a higher rating.
With the Carve, Radinn aims to offer more playfulness and performance than he does with the Freeride. The rider can jump, hop, and even do 180-degree spins with the help of optional foot straps.
A great board for beginners with some board sports experience willing to ride gnarly for a day or two, the Carve is a great alternative to other boards.
For advanced jet boarders, longer, more stable boards will seem too constrained once they get the hang of it. You can do even more tricks and have even more fun when you remove the fins!
Radinn’s platform is well thought out, so care, transport, and charging take a back seat to riding. The Carve has one of the best systems we’ve seen of all jet boards out there, even though electric surfboards will always be bulky and heavy due to the length and battery.

- Ride Time: 25-45min
- Max Speed: 32 mph/ 52 km
- Weight Incl. Battery: 106 lbs
- Dimensions: 70 x 24.8 inches
