BRABUS x Awake SHADOW EXPLORE Electric Surfboard

BRABUS x Awake SHADOW EXPLORE — Overview

The BRABUS x Awake SHADOW EXPLORE is the special-edition collaboration between Awake and the legendary German performance brand BRABUS — fusing Awake’s beginner-friendly RÄVIK Explore jetboard with BRABUS’ signature SHADOW design language. Limited-edition matte-black finish, BRABUS branding and BRABUS-spec battery and controller create a premium statement piece for the BRABUS-yacht-lifestyle audience.

• Premium charter operators who differentiate with a limited-edition BRABUS-branded jetboard
• BRABUS clients and collectors who want a complete BRABUS lifestyle setup
• First-time electric-surfboard riders in the BRABUS audience — the 121 L Dual Channel hull keeps the learning curve gentle

Riders who want the standard Awake aesthetic should look at the RÄVIK Explore (functionally identical, lower price). Performance riders chasing top speed should consider the RÄVIK Ultimate.

 

FAQ — BRABUS Edition, Battery & Use

How fast is the BRABUS x Awake SHADOW EXPLORE?

Up to 40 km/h via the 11 kW direct-drive motor — the same speed profile as the standard RÄVIK Explore. The BRABUS edition focuses on aesthetic and component branding, not on a performance bump.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 60 min of ride time on the included BRABUS Battery XR 4 (2.55 kWh). Real-world runtime depends on rider weight, speed and water conditions.

Is the BRABUS Battery compatible with other Awake boards?

Yes — the BRABUS Battery XR 4 is built on the Flex 4 ecosystem and powers any RÄVIK jetboard and any VINGA eFoil. Visual branding only — full cross-compatibility maintained.

What is the difference between the BRABUS Hand Controller and the standard Flex Hand Controller 4?

Same SmartPair Bluetooth electronics, same waterproof construction. The BRABUS Hand Controller adds BRABUS branding and finish — functional behaviour is identical.

Is this a limited edition?

Yes — the BRABUS x Awake SHADOW EXPLORE is a limited-edition collaboration. Once production allocation is sold out, no further units are produced.

Is the SHADOW EXPLORE suitable for beginners?

Yes — the underlying 121 L Dual Channel hull is the most beginner-friendly Awake board. The BRABUS edition does not change the hull behaviour or learning curve.

How heavy is the board?

The board itself weighs 21 kg. Two-person carrying or a board cart makes shoreline handling easier.

Can I use the BRABUS edition in salt water?

Yes. The RÄVIK platform is built for salt-water and freshwater use. Rinse with fresh water after each salt-water session and let everything dry before storage.

What does the 2-year warranty cover?

Awake’s premium 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects on the board, drive system and BRABUS-branded battery. See the Awake brand page on Wave Lovers for the full warranty terms.

Can I add a VINGA e-foil later and use the same BRABUS battery?

Yes — the BRABUS Battery XR 4 is Flex 4 cross-compatible with every VINGA eFoil. Buy the SHADOW EXPLORE today, add a VINGA Carve or Adventure later.
