We are happy to welcome a new talent to our International Windsurfing Team: Vincent Langer is the German Windsurf Champ 2014 and the Shooting Star in the German Windsurf scene! He also did very well in the Slalom Worlds and Funboard Racing Champs.

Vincent Langer: “The boards are performing very well and that´s most important when you do competitions. There´s also a pretty good mood within the team members, they are a real family. Another reason was product manager Daniel Aeberli as he´s a very good friend of mine and for sure has a lot of experience in what he´s doing.”

Daniel Aeberli, Fanatic Product Manager: “Vincent is for sure one of the most talented riders in the Windsurfing scene. We know each other since quite some years already so I could follow his career. He is a great personality and very professional. I am really looking forward to test the new prototypes with him in Cape Town during the next weeks. We will definitely profit a lot from his knowledge in terms of product development.”
