About the project
DIY Workflow for sustainable Kiteboards
This project aims to develop and establish a Do-it-yourself workflow for building Kiteboards (or Wakeboards) by using mainly sustainable materials. The motivation behind the project is to enable interested persons to create their own Kiteboards along to their own designs during guided workshops. To minimize negative impacts as much as possible, renewable raw materials such as wood or hemp are used for implementation. Workshops will take place around the area in Vienna (Austria).
