History

Patrik Diethelm most probably is the most complete watersports designer on the planet.
Together with 3d-Designer Fabio Canella and a core team of highly qualified windsurfing and winging enthusiasts he is developing high level windsurfing boards and sails, fins, foils, wings and accessory.

Patrik Diethelm History 

Shaping and designing with more than 25 years of technical expertise, PATRIK is far more than just another name in windsurfing and wingfoiling. From the very beginnings as passionate windsurfers themselves to high-profile brand employees, designers and title-winning windsurfing professionals, Patrik Diethelm's and Karin Jaggi's decision to found their own brand PATRIK in 2010 was simply a progression that came very naturally. Today many of windsurfing’s finest products carry PATRIK’s name on it and the brand is continuing its path of becoming one of the leading brands in the sport.

 

P|PERFECTION

Testing is a clearly defined process with millimetre refinements made and many prototypes produced before the final shapes get approved for production. Patrik Diethelm's shapes lay claim to over 50 world championship titles, more than 10 world records and countless national victories. Our boards offer an incredible strength to weight ratio and are known for the perfection of their craftsmanship. Same with sails, foils and fins: The way we test, fine-tune and push our products to the technical limits is unmatched in the industry.

Any trend always takes its own course. To follow trends is a constant race against the clock, which inevitably leads to a change the following year. The history of the PATRIK brand has proven that they do not replace models for the sake of marketing. Instead, our development process is constantly leading to long lasting constructions and advanced designs that are sustainable, timeless in design and made to satisfy the highest demands of our customers.

Unlike many high-profile watersports brands, when you buy a PATRIK product, you are not buying a marketing hype, you are buying a real piece of knowledge and experience. One of our main priorities is to prove the quality of our products in order to build a trusting relationship with every single customer. Not only do we explain the range of use and the benefits of our products, but we also fully describe why and which materials we use. No secrets. No bullshit. Nothing but the real thing.
