Growing up in Frankfurt, far from the sea, longing for open spaces, and always searching for the flow...
From asphalt surfing to real surfing, it was always a long journey, but thankfully, never out of reach.
At MIO Boards, the name says it all. MIO stands for:
We are fully committed to developing environmentally friendly and sustainable kite, foil, and skateboards without compromising performance. It all started with skateboards—more precisely, with a longboard for Christian's son, but instead of buying one, the two decided to try making their own board together.
A real hit, as it turned out. Enthusiastic about the result and the positive feedback from all sides, things quickly evolved. What began as a father-son project that brought in a little pocket money soon became a serious business, one that increasingly focused on watersports. With extensive experience in woodworking, it was a natural step to commit entirely to using renewable materials in production, and with Sebastian, the second co-founder, even more expertise was added to the team.
The result of their meticulous research and development was the creation of the 3D Bionic Core technology, a milestone in wooden board manufacturing. This innovative approach uses a computer-aided lightweight construction, taking the performance of wooden boards to a whole new level.
From the very beginning, sustainability has been deeply embedded in the company’s DNA. Not only are the boards themselves exceptionally eco-friendly and durable, but the entire production process is designed to minimize waste and reduce the ecological footprint as much as possible.
These efforts have since been recognized with the Ecoboard Gold Level certification from Sustainable Surf.
