Claudio Laible: With Christmas just around the corner we look back to a successful season, with lots of highlights and Indiana’s stories. Our ambition is to deliver the best products and maximize fun on water with our SUP, FOIL and SURF range. We love our products but we always see potential for new improvements and innovations.

Lots of podiums for the Dugout Hollow Carbon Raceboard 14’0 thanks to Indiana’s Ambassador Manuel Lauble
Great Dockstart-Foiling action from our Ambassadors and very cool projects like the 3066

What’s next for Indiana?
Launch of the very stiff and light Low Weight Carbon Masts and the new M-AR Frontwings and stabs dedicated to Wing Foiling and lots of other new gear. Stay tuned!
