Woodboard: Austrian masterpieces for water sports

Woodboard is an Austrian manufacturer of high-quality kiteboards that has made a name for itself through innovation, sustainability and precision craftsmanship. Based at Lake Neusiedl, a hotspot for water sports enthusiasts, Woodboard produces boards that are appreciated both in the EU and internationally.

The company's founding and founder

Woodboard was founded by Manfred Kernstock, a pioneer in the field of board construction. He started building snowboards in the early 1980s and, among other things, was represented at the 1987 World Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland. His passion for water sports led him to found Woodboard in 2011 to apply his expertise to the development of kiteboards. Manfred lost half a finger in an accident at work many years ago. However, that didn't stop him from shaping sensational boards and immortalized this misfortune in the unmistakable Woodboard logo.

Technical achievements and prominence

Woodboard is known for producing kiteboards that impress with their innovative construction and materials. One example is the CRBN kiteboard, which features a full 3D carbon construction and a wood core insert made of Paulownia and beech. This construction method ensures excellent water performance and durability.
