Konrad isn’t just another watersports brand – it’s the result of decades of design, manufacturing, and ocean experience brought together with a single goal: to create the best-performing gear possible for every rider.

Our foundation runs deep. With over 50 years of manufacturing expertise, our design work has supported some of the world’s most demanding industries – from the Australian military to NASA, the petrochemical sector, and even the Antarctic research stations. This background taught us one thing: when lives and missions depend on it, average is not good enough. That philosophy is built into every Konrad product today.

Innovation That Leads the Industry

Konrad has become known for a unique, innovative approach that often sets the benchmark for the industry – and is regularly imitated by competitors. But we don’t stop at innovation for the sake of it; every detail is gone over time and time again to deliver real solutions for the everyday rider to make their experience better. A great example is the Clicknut system, designed to cut foil assembly time, reduce drag, and make setup and pack down effortless. It’s these rider-first innovations that set Konrad apart.

Built, Tested, Refined in Australia

Our gear is not mass-produced. Every board and foil is developed through a cycle of Ride – Design – Ride – Develop – Ride, ensuring real-world testing at every stage. Our 3 R&D facilities are where prototypes become products, and where new ideas are constantly pushed to the limit with cutting edge manufacturing techniques blended with craftsmanship and manufacturing know-how and constant drive to exceed previous designs.

We also pioneered Volcanic Vacuum Infusion, our own advanced unique lamination process for building custom boards, delivering unmatched strength, responsiveness, and durability.  Mixing composites engineering with exotic materials and industry leading finishes without any clear coats or paint. This isn’t just board-building, its art meets science.

We Don’t Do Average

At Konrad, there’s no “good enough.” Every product is finely tuned, built with the highest-quality materials, and tested by riders who know what excellence feels like. With over 12 years of kitesurfing and foiling experience at the core of our design philosophy, everything we create is by the rider, for the rider.
