Awake Ravik S Electric Surfboard
Like a track-only version of a high-end sports car, the Awake Ravik S takes what's great about the original and turns it up a notch. Still powered by the powerful Awake Direct Drive system, its carbon fiber hull has been completely redesigned with agility in mind. That means a 30% lower buoyancy, a narrow tail, and softer edges that are easier to push into the water, but with twin fins for stable straights. As with the Ravik, it offers four power settings to suit your riding style, an exchangeable battery for added ride time, and a wireless, handheld throttle control.
Top Speed: 35 mph / 30 Knots
Acceleration: 0 - 30 mph in 4 seconds
Battery Life: 40 minutes on an 80-minute full charge
Weight w/ Battery: 77 lbs
Included: Ravik Surfboard / One Battery / Power Key / Handheld Throttle / Handle Strap / Battery Charger

Jack Black Nourishing Hair & Scalp Conditioner
Other conditioners can hydrate and strengthen hair but not many of them can do it without any parabens, fragrances, or colorants. Instead of a chemically-infused formula, Jack Black Nourishing Hair & Scalp Conditioner uses natural oils and botanical extracts like B5, tea tree oil, and basil leaf to moisturize the mane without weighing it down. It actually does the opposite by thickening strands and adding volume.
