The Simmer board project
The rumor is true... Simmer Style is developing boards.
Thirty years has passed since the first Simmer sail saw the light at Ho’okipa, Simmer Style has evolved from a tiny shack on Maui’s North Shore to a international organization of stoked windsurfers who all share the original Simmer Style dream, to design and produce the best windsurfing equipment on the planet. Making boards is a natural step for us, completing our production range and doing so linking the rig’s performance to the boards.
We have been preparing for this project for many years, developing the manufacturing and finding the most competent people to join our team. Our boards are designed, developed and will be manufactured with the same quality regime as our award winning sails, all to meet the high Simmer Style standards.
Our prototypes have been on the water on Maui, California, South Africa, Europe and Australia for more than six months and the feedback has been extremely positive. We have finalized two quad models and we are now in the final stages of testing the FSW board on Maui. We have been durability testing three different constructions with very positive outcome.
I would like to take the opportunity to welcome Ola Helenius to the Simmer family . Ola is responsible for materializing our shapes together with Kai Katchadourian. We can assure you that this will be a unique product on the market otherwise we would not put the Simmer Style double wake logo on it.
