Same wavelength

We tell a story of community, connection and shared interests. Surfing brings people together through a passion for the sport, and our team is no different. We come from different walks of life and all share a common goal - to pursue our dream of surfing.

Each member of our small and select team is an integral part of developing and improving our products. The board you end up riding is created through their expert opinions, experiences and stories, and our team is a growing family united by a common cause. We pride ourselves on helping our riders progress while improving themselves and the sport.

Our riders

Lenny Weinhold

The Machine | One of the most talented river surfers you'll ever see. You're in for a treat when you catch him ripping up the Eisbach and hitting his BS reverse, just to name one. This kid is a true ripper. At his young age, he has already won a European Championship and is a hot contender in the Rapid Surf League. His enthusiasm for surfing is comparable to a Duracell bunny on speed.

Kathi Gappmayr

The Legend | Kathl started river surfing when most of the kids who surf on the Eisbach today weren't even born yet. She has won the European Championships more times than anyone else in a row, as well as the River Riot and other competitions. With her strong snowboarding background, she has a real river surfing style. These days she is more of a freesurfer than a contest rider. Kathl is one of the best, not only on artificial waves but also on open river waves.
