Integration adds Awake to BWMG's established dealer and customer channels across North America and Puerto Rico, with showcase activity continuing at PBIBS.

Davie, Florida - March 1 8 , 2026 – TheNewswire - Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. (OTCID: BWMG), a marine technology innovator focused on diving systems, marine mobility, and electric watersports technologies, today announced that it is integrating the Awake electric surfboard product line into its existing Brownie's Third Lung®, BLU3®, and SeaNXT customer and dealer channels throughout North America and Puerto Rico.

The integration expands Brownie's Marine Group's growing Live Blue ecosystem by introducing one of the world's most advanced electric surfboard platforms to BWMG's established network of watersports dealers, dive operators, marinas, boat builders, yacht dealers, and experiential tour providers.

Awake electric surfboards allow riders to experience the sensation of surfing without waves using powerful electric propulsion and intuitive wireless throttle control. Riders can accelerate, carve, and glide across open water with silent electric power, creating one of the most exciting new categories in premium watersports.

Awake's broader product platform also includes a three-model electric foil lineup - the Awake VINGA Adventure, VINGA Ultimate, and VINGA S - giving Brownie's Marine Group entry into the fast-growing eFoil category popularized by early market leaders such as Lift and Flite. Designed for riders seeking a more advanced, flight-oriented experience than traditional jetboards, the Awake eFoil range adds another premium electric watersports segment to BWMG's expanding portfolio. The platform is further differentiated by Awake's Click-to-Ride battery system, which the company says allows riders to plug and unplug the Flex battery with a single hand movement and swap batteries in only a few seconds, simplifying setup, reducing turnaround time, and supporting more efficient demo and rental operations.

Successful Introduction Demonstrated at Miami International Boat Show

The collaboration was successfully previewed during the Miami International Boat Show, where multiple Brownie's Marine Group exhibits showcased Awake electric surfboards alongside the company's core marine recreation technologies.

Displays were featured at BWMG exhibits at the Miami Beach Convention Center and Sailor's Cove Marina, allowing dealers, partners, and consumers to experience firsthand how Awake boards complement Brownie's Marine Group's expanding portfolio of innovative marine recreation technologies.

The demonstrations generated strong interest from dealers and watersports operators and reinforced the compatibility of Awake electric surfboards with BWMG's experiential marketing and trade show platform.

"Awake boards added tremendous excitement to our displays," said Robert Carmichael, CEO of Brownie's Marine Group. "The response at the Miami Boat Show confirmed that electric surf technology is quickly becoming one of the most exciting emerging categories in watersports."

Upcoming Demonstrations at Palm Beach International Boat Show

Brownie's Marine Group also announced that Awake electric surfboards will be showcased alongside BWMG's carbon fiber SeaNXT electric marine mobility products and BLU3 portable dive systems at the upcoming Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS).

The combined exhibit is intended to demonstrate how Awake electric surfboards complement BWMG's expanding portfolio of innovative marine recreation technologies designed to bring more people into the water environment through electric mobility, diving access, and experiential watersports.

Brownie's Marine Group invites end users, watersports operators, marinas, dive centers, boat builders, yacht dealers, and prospective dealers to visit the exhibit to experience the product lineup firsthand and discuss demo opportunities, dealership programs, and partnership opportunities.

Leveraging Established Marine Recreation Channels

Brownie's Marine Group will introduce the Awake product line through its established and growing network of watersports dealers, dive centers, marinas, boat builders, yacht dealers, and experiential operators that already represent BWMG's marine recreation products.

This channel-based approach allows BWMG to introduce the Awake brand to an engaged customer base while providing dealer onboarding, technical support, experiential demonstrations, and service infrastructure designed to accelerate product adoption.

Unlike traditional distributors, Brownie's Marine Group brings decades of experience designing, manufacturing, and servicing advanced marine recreation technologies.

Through its engineering and manufacturing operations, BWMG has developed and commercialized multiple electric and battery-powered marine systems, including portable diving equipment, marine propulsion technologies, and advanced mobility platforms.

This expertise in marine electronics, propulsion integration, battery management systems, and dealer service training provides a strong operational foundation for supporting premium electric watersports products within its dealer network.

Strategic Growth in Electric Marine Recreation

Strategically, the addition of Awake strengthens Brownie's Marine Group's position as a platform company for emerging electric watersports technologies.

As the marine recreation industry continues transitioning toward electric propulsion and battery-powered mobility, BWMG's combined capabilities in engineering, manufacturing, distribution, service infrastructure, and experiential marketing create a compelling pathway for innovative marine technology brands seeking expanded market access.

By integrating Awake electric surfboards into its growing ecosystem of marine recreation technologies, Brownie's Marine Group continues building a scalable platform designed to accelerate the adoption of next-generation electric water mobility products while providing dealers and customers with reliable technical support and product expertise.

Dealer Network Advantages

The structure allows BWMG dealers to offer Awake products without heavily capitalizing inventory, enabling retailers to introduce a premium electric watersports brand while relying on BWMG's logistics, training, and service infrastructure.
