If you want decent range out of an electric watercraft, you need to eliminate drag – and that's the thinking behind the WaveFlyer Volaré, launching in Sydney this weekend. Smaller than some jet skis, it hovers over the water for a smooth, quiet ride.
-
Lift Foils has launched what's claimed to be the "most customizable, most powerful eFoil ever made." A new battery system can offer riders as much as 2.5 hours flying above the waves, and quietly zip them to a top speed of 30 mph.
-
Rather than having to buy both an eFoil and an electric surfboard for powered fun on the water, Austria's Scubajet has launched its new Performance Series with a single board that combines both.
-
Puerto Rican startup Lift has introduced its third-generation eFoil, offering customers a cheaper point of entry to the young but burgeoning watersport, along with a smoother ride courtesy of a redesigned fiberglass deck.

Swedish extreme electric surfboard maker Awake Boards has added a new premium electric surfboard to it award-winning range, which promises more power, faster acceleration and better response for sharper turns, higher jumps and faster rides.

Swedish outfit Radinn has added a third model to its lineup of electric wakeboards, which it describes as its sportiest and most durable yet, with a redesigned hull built to endure some heavy knocks and a quad-fin setup to customize your ride.
-
Sweden's Awake Boards launched its 35 mph Rävik premium electric surfboard in 2018, and has now announced the second generation ride at Boot Düsseldorf last week – the Rävik S.

The latest electric hydrofoil board comes from a rather unexpected source: Audi. The company's e-tron program makes a move off land, spawning a vehicle that floats riders through air as it zips across water at speeds up to 27 mph (43 km/h).
-
Florida-based company Blu3 has come up with what it claims is the smallest, lightest and cheapest personal dive system available. It consists of a battery-powered, surface-supplied air (SSA) system that lets users dive to 10 ft (3 m) below the surface for about 60 minutes.
-
Hear that? Nope? Me neither, but the silent, high-speed electric surfboard is now most definitely a thing, coming soon to a reasonably smooth set of swells near you. The latest to hit the waves is the Awake Rävik, a 35-mph, full carbon stand-up beast with a wireless hand-held throttle.
-
Pre-sale registrations are now open for the Manta5, a Kiwi-built, 400-watt hydrofoiling e-bike that lets you ride effortlessly on water like a life-jacketed, 2,000-year-old Jewish carpenter on a fitness kick.

Wildhorn Outfitters has unveiled the Seaview 180 SV2 snorkel mask, sporting a wide field of vision, an action camera mount and two separate breathing chambers to reduce fogging and let you breathe easier.
