Drops Boards was created over 20 years ago, when it''s founder and main man, Mario Vinti understood that there was a great potential and passion behind the sport that had not yet fully developed. That is how Mario first started shaping boards in his garage, with DIY methods and tools, and then step by step became the shaper that we all know and admire. Ever since, thanks to Mario''s ability and tenacity, Drops has grown enormously and become the symbol of quality, technology and innovation. Every day Mario and the team attempt to communicate their philosophy. Drops are absolutely determined in achieving their goal, because being a step ahead requires dedication and a quest for excellence without any form of compromise.
Drops uses leading edge CNC Milling techniques to produce one of the best balanced windsurfing boards in production with their unique variable thickness glass, carbon and Kevlar sandwich construction. CNC Milling Technology linked to off-line CAD CAM control can produce the most accurate 3D shapes presently available. CNC milling is used in the most advanced Aerospace and Marine Engineering industries and now also by Drops to create the main core and Drops unique variable thickness sandwich. Each board has its own unique variable thickness sandwich criteria along with its individual lay-ups of glass, carbon and Kevlar which makes for the ultimate combination of design faithfulness, lightness and strength.
Drops are not satisfied with following the latest trends, they prefer to set them. Often Drops have succeeded in understanding, well before their opponents, what windsurfers from around the world wanted, and so year after year, prototype after prototype, Drops have always found the best solution.

F2 are a long-established brand hailing originally from Germany, and have been a leading light in the windsurfing industry since the early 1980s. For ten years they were the dominant force on the World Cup scene, with Bjorn Dunkerbeck as their chief rider. Their Sunset Slalom (launched in the mid eighties) retains the record as the longest-serving board design - in production (and popular) for over a decade . Over the years their range has included several ground-breaking designs such as the Sputnik 270 (the first dedicated slalom board), which, along with , and its followon the Sputnik 270 II and Sputnik 265, retained the world speed record for many years. Yet they also produced the first proper freestyle boards (the Move, and the Air 260), which had an even greater influence on the market.
With Patrick Diethelm as their shaper, they are setting out their stall for 2005 as a high performance orientated brand with a strong inclination towards racing and slalom. The boards are built at the Cobra factory in Thailand.
