Born on the water,
built to perform

One of us rides. One of us designs. We got fed up with kite gear that breaks or gets in the way, so we started making our own.

Prototyping since 2024

Home spot Lo Stagnone, Sicily

Production Made in Europe

The origin

It started with a handle

The grab handle on Matteo's board kept letting him down. Too soft, too slippery, always in the wrong spot. So we made a better one.

That handle turned into fins, then pads and straps, then a full board. Every product since has started the same way: something on our own setup wasn't good enough.

The gear is older than the company. We built and tested for two years before Airboost became official in 2026.

01 Ridden before it’s sold Matteo takes every prototype on the water. If it doesn’t hold up, it doesn’t go on sale.
02 The small stuff matters Hole spacing, screw length, grip texture. That’s what decides whether your gear works with you or against you.
03 Straight from us to you No shops, no distributors. We sell direct and make in Europe, so the money goes into materials instead of margins.

The Airboost handle in the full colour range, lined up — Handle One — 8 handle colours, 8 logo colours

If it doesn’t hold, it doesn’t ship.

Every prototype gets ridden before it goes on sale

The founders

A rider and a designer

Two jobs, one loop. What breaks on the water on Saturday is back on the drawing board on Monday.

On the water

Matteo Marchi

Co-founder · Rider & testing

Matteo rides. He finds what doesn’t work out on the water, and that becomes the brief for the next product. Every prototype goes out with him before anything goes into production.

At the drawing board

Mattia Tonucci

Co-founder · Design

Mattia designs. He takes what Matteo brings back from the water and turns it into a real product — shape, materials, finish, down to the last millimetre.
