The Monster-Sized Story
Awake's own news post says that on Thursday, April 6, 2023 at 4:39 PM EST, pro rider Flo Garbaccio landed a powerful backflip, described as a back-roll rotation, on the VINGA S eFoil. The company frames it as the world's first eFoil backflip. The published clip and the detailed date make this a clean freestyle milestone for the motorized eFoil branch of foiling.
Rules of the Beast
Counts the first publicly claimed eFoil backflip when the source clearly identifies the craft as an eFoil, the maneuver as a backflip or back-roll rotation, and the rider as having completed the landing.
How This Got the Nod
Primary brand report and public video align on the rider, craft, maneuver, and firstness claim.
