Lampuga was once one of the better-known names in electric surfboards, especially with the Lampuga Air.
The company has now ceased operations, so new boards, spare parts and normal customer support are no longer available directly from Lampuga.
You may still find old stock or used boards for sale, but buying one now comes with more risk than it did before.
Can You Still Buy a Lampuga?
Yes, but mainly through dealers clearing remaining stock or on the second-hand market.
If you are considering one, the most important things to check are the battery, charger and availability of replacement parts. Battery condition matters in particular, as older lithium-ion batteries can lose capacity over time.
A cheap, well-maintained Lampuga could still be interesting. At anything close to the price of a current electric surfboard, however, it becomes harder to justify.
What Are the Best Alternatives?
Awake is one of the clearest alternatives and still produces its RÄVIK range of electric surfboards.
Other brands are also available, but support matters almost as much as performance with this type of product. Before buying, check whether batteries, chargers and spare parts are easy to source and whether the board comes with a meaningful warranty.
Lampuga boards have not suddenly become unusable, but the end of the company changes the equation. For most buyers, especially anyone new to electric surfboards, a current model from an active manufacturer will usually make more sense.
