How was the 2024 market?
We are continuing the same trend as last year, but with greater interest in our products thanks to our technical expertise and our cutting-edge office, which offers high-performance foils and the most balanced wing foils, windsurfer foils, and more recently, SUP and surf foils! Influencers from different brands are captivated by the quality of our products! We produce little, but we have 100% customer satisfaction! The market is in demand for products like ours with reliability and, above all, excellent second-hand sales value! The market will pick up pace, both in the entry-level market and at the high-end level. Our goal is to industrialize heavily in this sector if there is continued enthusiasm and the decline in sales of “Made in China” products!

How are stock levels compared to a year ago?
We manufacture everything in-house, so stock is not a problem, but above all, availability is guaranteed AT THE LEVEL of the number we decide to sell!

What sport is driving the most demand at the moment (kite, wind, wing, surf…) and why?
For Select, windsurfing with our fins remains the most popular sport since October 2024 We’re making progress! RETURN TO WINDSURFING for foilers Above 4-5 Beaufort winds, demand is increasing, with a motivational message. We want to ride a machine by pushing on our straps in our harness without question and rack up the nautical miles. No more beach sports!
