Hello, I’m Max and I’m an enthusiastic surfer. I’ve been friends with Martin for many years…
Hi!
I’m Martin, the founder of TreemBoards! I develop and design sustainable and handmade surfboards made of the renewable resource wood. During a holiday in Morocco in 2014, I became passionate about surfing…
Hi! I’m Johannes, a very good friend of Martin and the technical support at Treemboards…
My name Marina is originally from Latin and means “the one who comes from the sea”…
In my first free semester break, I travelled to a surf camp in Morocco for 4 weeks. My passion for surfing was awakened there.
During my bachelor's degree, I designed the wooden surfboard on the computer and milled and manufactured it in the university workshop.
I surfed and tested the board on Sylt and Tenerife.
Together with Max, I dared to try out the first plastic surfboards.
This was followed by two wooden Minimalibus during the Master's programme. These were constructed for the first time in the light and stable wooden construction method.
We surfed and tested the boards on the Atlantic coast.
During a holiday in Sri Lanka in October 2019, I decided to start my own business building wooden surfboards.
First, I wanted to create a financial cushion for myself.
Besides my professional work as an engineer, I prepared the foundation of the company.
The first riverboards are tested in the Eisbach and the Flossländle and then improved, further developed and tested again.
The further developed Fish and Minimalibu are put through their paces under various conditions in Portugal, Spain and France together with friends.
TreemBoards was founded on 1 October 2021.
The first riverboards exhibited in Osnabrück
Since the beginning of March there is a website.
