Windsurfing today is a sport that appeals to anyone from the travel connoisseur to the extreme sailing entusiast. Thanks to stunning advancements in both equipment and technology, windsurfing has seen quite a number of changes since its incarnation in the 1970s. It’s not only the hard work and dedication of the athletes, but also the companies behind the scenes that are redefining the boundaries of what’s possible to achieve with a board and sail.

“Success is the reward you get, when you have proven to yourself and to the world that you have devoted yourself to achieving your dreams. Without support, it’s simply not possible to keep pushing your limits and reach your goals." - Kurosh Kiani
