If Icarus knew hydrofoils, he would have fallen for the eFoili. The Awake VINGA Adventure is the Swedish recipe for flying over the sea, with jet propulsion, long range and surprising calmness – even when your heart is beating at 6,000 rpm.
eFoil is an electric board with hydrocrylo and an underwater drive that lifts the board above the surface – less resistance, more silence, more smiles. VINGA Adventure targets adventurers: volume 95 L, mast height 80 cm (31.5 in) and Linear Jet propulsion for a smooth, controlled flight. The board itself weighs only 9.5 kg (20.9 lbs), and the drivetrain 11 kg (24.3 lbs) – for transfer to the beach without a lift. Top speed? 50 km/h (31 mph), which on foil feels like an AC/DC concert – but without the decibels.
Speed, range and batteries Flex 4
You basically get the option of two batteries: LR 4 for a lighter, more playfully balanced board and XR4 for expeditions. Driving time: from 60 min (LR) to 120 min (XR). A new one XR4 weights 18.5 kg (40.8 lbs) and it has 2.55 kWh – enough for a morning tour of the islands and an afternoon return. LR 4 is low-mass (12 kg / 26.5 lbs) and thus reduces weight swing; ideal if you like to carve tight turns.
“Click-and-drive” (Click‑to‑Ride) interface means no cables and no ceremony – you simply snap the battery in and go. The system is part of a modular Flex platform that powers both VINGA eFoiles and RÄVIK jetboards.
Wings that help you "fly" slower and safer
Standard wing kit Powder 1800 + Cruise Stabilizer gives a lot of lift at low speeds – translation: easier starts, longer, more stable flight and elegant cutting of long arcs. The 80-centimeter mast helps maintain altitude even over rough water, Linear Jet and ensures smooth thrust without an exposed propeller.
What's in the package?
A package Awake VINGA Adventure includes everything you need for repeat trips: wings, Flex Hand Controller 4, battery, charger and board bag – so the entire circuit from the garage to the bay and back. Warranty? 2 years.

Why this is interesting for captains (and those who prefer to fly than row)
Awake VINGA Adventure it's like a modern tender for your soul: quiet, fast, clean and more zen than any PWC. Linear Jet means less noise and more confidence, and the stock wings make it easier to get started and prolong the pleasure before you even think about “Extreme mode”. Two hours realistic sliding with XR4 the battery is covered by serious micro-expeditions along the coast, while LR 4 retains a playful ease for learning and carving. The package is complete, guarantee 2-year-old, but also light enough to fit in a van instead of a container. The price is not small – €11.900 (excluding VAT) on the official website – but you get a piece of Scandinavian engineering solidity, which in practice means less maintenance, more drivingIf you love the sea, but would like to sail above it, VINGA Adventure is quite possibly the purest sea adventure that is also useful.
