Deska Board: city windsurfing with brakes

Deska Board is the ultimate windsurfing board for those wanting to sail the world's busiest city streets.

You don't need water to go windsurfing.

Street windsurfing is not a new concept, but the entrepreneur behind Deska Board has dramatically improved it with special lightweight aluminum, carbon plank, and an innovative brake system.

Until now, these city windsurf boards didn't have proper brakes. You'd have to brake with the soles of your shoes or wait until you'd crash against any object, car, or person.

Csaba Tolgyesy, the industrial designer who founded Deska Board, has added a disc-break control which gives you the possibility to stop immediately.

The new city skateboard with multiple functions is ready for cobblestones, bad quality concrete, and dirt roads, thanks to the 200mm wheels.

Its flexible foot belt system keeps your feet with the board in jumps and bumps.

  • It's official. The World Sailing Speed Record Council (WSSRC) ratified two new outstanding accomplishments in windsurfing and kiteboarding.
  • Dutch environmental activist and windsurfer Merijn Tinga, also known as the "Plastic Soup Surfer," has made an audacious journey from Oslo to London, braving the North Sea's currents and winds, to call attention to the pervasive problem of plastic pollution.
  • Imagine gliding across a frozen lake, your sail catching the wind, and skis slicing through the ice and snow. Meet the sport that blends the thrill of windsurfing with the crisp, cold beauty of winter landscapes.
