production by flikkaboards
all airinside boards are produced in the flikka boards factory in slovenia. flikka is a renowned producer of the highest quality windsurf and wing boards. not only are their constructions and technological solutions some of the toughest and lightest in the world, but their shapes are also praised by professionals and hobby surfers alike. in partnership with flikkaboards, airinside boards are produced to the highest quality and reliability standards.
all airinside boards are 100% produced in europe, using mostly european materials. the technology that we use, without eps core, is much more sustainable, has a longer lifespan, and creates less residue compared to standard production methods.

since 1994
stefan waelchli had the idea to develop super-light windsurfing boards using hollow construction. he first molded and built an f2 sputnik in 1994. in 1995, he received several innovation awards for the technology he developed. in 1996, he was honored with the business award of the city of biel. despite several failed production attempts in thailand, china, and ukraine, he partnered with flikkaboards, who understood and optimized the technology to production maturity.
his passion for lightweight construction and surfing led him to found airinside in 1996. the boards are hollow, made with honeycomb and prepregs—fibers pre-impregnated with epoxy resins and cured at over 120°c. this reduces weight and compensates with higher-quality materials, offering a significant weight advantage, especially for tubular shapes. building hollow, light, and durable boards proved complex.
