The Swedish brand Awake is known for its electric surfboards. The latest invention, which is about to be launched on the market, is called Navi and looks like a mixture of jet ski, e-foilboard and inflatable mini catamaran.
The system is designed to get even more people excited about foiling without the risks of tippy e-foil boards. Navi uses a hydrofoil package consisting of a front wing plus fuselage, stabiliser and electric motors. At a certain speed, the toy lifts off and floats above the surface of the water - an indescribable feeling.
The hull is made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic and was developed in collaboration with the Mannerfelt design team. The Awake novelty is controlled like a motorbike via a handlebar with twist grip and can be ridden with or without inflatable side tubes. The price of the aircraft, which is designed for two people, is 39,990 euros (excluding VAT). Further information: Awake
