Electric Summer Escape

In May, the Awake team decided to head down south with a bunch of boards and batteries, catch a boat and aim for the crystal blue waters of Corsica.

Of course, you can’t go to such a paradise alone, so we decided to call some friends to come ride with us and share this unforgettable journey on the Island of Beauty. And what better match to complete the equation than letting 2 passionate content creators that we met riding the past years join the trip?

Join us for carving sessions on the RÄVIK S 22, crystal clear water explorations on the VINGA, and sunset cruising on the RÄVIK 3.  We had the full flexibility of riding with any board thanks to Awake’s Flex battery system - Just dependent on if the rider was in fly, cruise, or race mode. You can’t stop that feeling, which brings you back into the water again, and again!

We take you with us to discover the stunning landscapes of Corsica made from mountains, blue lagoons, archipelagoes, and the Unesco renowned white cliffs of Bonifacio.

Discover a trip made from laughter, ride sessions, exploration, cruises, and smiles that the entire team will remember for the rest of their lives.

We hope that you for an instant moment can feel that you are with us in the water and we hope you will enjoy watching the movie.

 

Meet the team of the trip below!
