ABOUT RECHARGE
Recharge is a brand that helps people to refill their batteries through water sports. Isn’t this the whole point of windsurfing? The rhythm of modern life is very stressful and fast. We get caught up in routines, work duties, family duties, house duties… In short, our lives are filled up with duties, so it’s no surprise that burnouts are the disease of this century. Therefore, is essential to recharge our batteries in order to keep a balanced and happy life. Many psychologists believe that recharging is the most effective when we get engaged in an activity that does not allow us to think beyond here and now. When windsurfing, we constantly need to think about the conditions and unpredictability - so we are forced to disconnect the everyday reality and this is the state that charging takes place – RECHARGE.
The man behind everything…
Tine Slabe was a pro windsurfer for 12 years, starting as a freestyler, continuing with slalom and finally accomplishing some amazing speed results. Over those years he was involved in developing boards, sails, tested endless fins, masts and was always interested to bring this sport to another level. After a successful windsurf career as a professional freestyle and slalom sailor, Tine has taken part in many different windsurfing projects. He has been using his vast knowledge to launch high quality and price-affordable products onto the market. All Recharge products are built with use of Tine’s personal touch, skills and guidance.
The products….
When it comes to the making of new product, we follow three simple words: Experience. Perfection. Durability.
We use our vast experience to bring out the best in all used materials, shapes and processes, and create products that can be used by all windsurfers – from beginners to professionals.
When building and testing new products, our main focus is on durability. We want our products to stay with you as long as possible and defy all rough conditions on water. We believe that you don’t need to sacrifice performance in favour of durability or vice versa.
Therefore, we are guided by perfection in all stages of creating a new product. Whether it’s the early stage of process or a late one of fine tuning, we are aware of the importance of every small detail in terms or better performance and durability.
