Who are you?

Mostly A
You’re a nature-loving Stand Up Paddler

Wind, high waves and sun are not what you need most! What counts for you is nature and what's around it! You prefer to be alone or with your loved ones on the water, exploring nature and enjoying the moment! You combine your trendy sport with a voyage through picturesque landscapes and can experience watersports 365 days a year in local waters. Whether physically or mentally, it’s all about balance!

Mostly B
You‘re a real soul surfer

Your pulse only really gets pumping on a steep wave! You’re already on the water at sunrise – to start the day alone with your surfboard! For you, a day without the sea is a day lost and you crave the interplay of action and chilling while surfing. You’re not easily rattled because for you all that counts is positive vibes and the next wave!

Mostly C
You’re a badass wakeboarder

Whether behind a motorboat or on the cable you need adrenaline, speed and action! Starting at 30 km/h you really pump up the volume as you glide on your board over waves and jump over obstacles. Even if you fall a lot at first, you don't let it get you down. As soon as that line is taut and starts pulling you into the water, you’re in your element. Surf the wake!
