3.1 Before using the board
3.1.1. Download the Awake app from
Appstore Google Android
( See more information under section 3.5.1.)
3.1.2 Connect to the Awake App
The RÄVIK is shipped with the ride mode
set to “ECO” mode. When connecting to
the app, you will at first read and accept
the conditions and waiver. We recommend
connecting to the Awake App prior to
your first ride in order to unlock the full
potential of your new board or customize
the riding experience to suit your
preference including accepting the waiver.
See the “Awake App” section for details on
how to connect.
3.1.3 Binding Installation
Before installing the bindings, you will need
to know your preferred stance - regular
(left foot forward) or goofy (right foot
forward). This will be whatever feels more
natural to you. If you are unsure, have
someone push you from behind, with your
arms initially held alongside your torso, and
whichever foot goes forward will usually be
your front foot.
To install the bindings, position each
binding according to your preferred angle
and spacing, ensuring the fastening holes
are located above the inserts along the
center of the board.
Fasten the bindings to the board using
the provided M6 x 15 screws and Allen Key.
Make sure the bindings are tightly secured
to the board before riding.
You may need to adjust the angle and
spacing of the bindings, test, and iterate
in order to find the stance that feels right
for you.
The use of bindings is optional depending
on your preferred riding experience;
however, we recommend using the bindings
if you’re just getting started.
3.1.4 Fin Installation
The Awake RÄVIK is supplied with custom
MFC™ fins. Awake highly advises riding
the Awake RÄVIK with fins installed. The
Awake RÄVIK accepts single tab FCS type
standard surf fins should you choose
to replace them in order to adjust the
handling characteristics. The fins can also
be removed for transportation.
To install fins in the Awake RÄVIK, insert
the fin in the slot. Gently tighten using the
provided fin key, the fin should not move
once tightened. Repeat this procedure in
reverse to remove fins.
