PIONEERING THE INDUSTRY

Innovation has always been a natural part of SP Boarding. Our passion for the sport and deep manufacturing experience have led us to create solutions ahead of their time. Over the years, we introduced new ideas and technologies focused on fit, comfort, and performance. From the beginning, our aim has been clear - a truly individual fit for every rider. Some of these innovations became widely adopted across the market, while others helped set new standards. For us, innovation has always meant building better products for real riders. The timeline below highlights some of the key milestones in that journey.

Just as shoes come in sizes, kiteboard bindings should too — because the best riding experience begins with the right fit. Martin Santarius CEO

The SP Team

RIDERS 4 RIDERS

Behind SP Boarding stands a strong team united by experience, craftsmanship, and a shared commitment to quality. The rider-driven spirit of the brand comes from the family behind it - passionate boardsports enthusiasts whose mindset continues to shape the direction of SP Boarding. The leadership is also closely involved in the everyday life of the company, from development and production to logistics and operations, allowing ideas to move quickly into real products. Together with an experienced team, that vision becomes products built with purpose, care, and a real understanding of what riders need.

In the end, both the product and the company are only as strong as the people behind them. Petr Santarius CEO

Product Innovation & Technology

Workshop and sports… that has been my world since childhood. Combining them through the development and production of sports equipment is a dream come true for me. I don’t like hearing that something isn’t possible—where there is a will, there is a way. Perfect products are my goal, and my work is the path to them.

THE HOUSE OF SP

WHERE VISION BECOMES REALITY

Driven by a long-term effort to keep moving things forward, we opened our own modern manufacturing complex in the heart of Europe in 2021. Designed around our needs and production challenges, it marked a major step forward for SP Boarding. Our goal was not only to create the right environment for our team and build an eco-friendly facility, but also to equip our factory with modern technologies that support the daily development, production, and continuous improvement of our products.

Great products come from the right combination of skilled people and advanced technology. Lesek Karas Product Development

EUROPEAN PRODUCTION WITH DIRECT CONTROL OVER QUALITY AND INNOVATION

For SP Boarding, European production is more than a location — it is part of our identity. By keeping our manufacturing in Europe and sourcing the vast majority of materials and components from European suppliers, we maintain direct control over quality, consistency, and innovation. This close connection helps us build better products with the precision and reliability we believe riders deserve.

ECO

SUSTAINABLE APPROACH

BECAUSE RESPECT FOR OUR PLANET SHOULD ALWAYS BE PART OF PROGRESS

Nature is the foundation of sport, outdoor activities, and overall quality of life. At SP Boarding, sustainability starts with better choices from the beginning — through European production, shorter transport routes, and responsible manufacturing. Together with solar-powered production, this helps us lower CO² emissions and reduce our overall impact.

EVERYTHING HANDCRAFTED

At SP Boarding, we do not manufacture through endless series or fully automated production lines. Our products are built through a combination of technology, skilled manual work, and the experience of the people behind every step of the process.

For us, this is not only about product quality. It is also about valuing the people who create it. We deeply respect our colleagues and collaborators, because their work, care, and craftsmanship are a vital part of every SP Boarding product.
