Kold Shapes

My name is Mario Rodwald and I teamed up with a small group of people to design kiteboards true to our philosophy. This means shaping our boards in a more environmen- tally friendly manner and closer to where we ride. Our European production partners work on the most modern machines and sites to build boards and accessories of the highest performance and quality. We truly believe that many things can be done differently regarding the sustainability without sacrificing – or even enhancing the abilities of our boards. Our board range proves revolutionary flex patterns and a completely redefined feeling of pop by using different materials. But try for yourself – our main goal is to create unforgettable sessions and happiness

Our design finds it’s origin in the cold and raw north where most of us ride every day. Of course, the Caribbean is beautiful too, but really think about mother nature up in the raw North. The elements show their true colours in the cold and I believe riding these conditions will do the same to you. When the ocean is almost being covered by ice you will most likely be riding all by yourself. A good friend might accompany you for safety but that’s about all the company you will get. The rough storm in your face and the freezing water splashing against your board will give you a unique feeling – to be in tune with the elements. At KOLD shapes we cannot get enough of this feeling and this is why most of the trips we are envisioning for the future do not involve palm trees.
