The EXIST program
The TRIPSTIX idea of PhD student and founder Stefan Klare results in their first business plan.
The idea
Inflatable surfboards would have been the perfect solution for the upcoming surf trip, but the market just does not offer anything but inflatable air mattresses - far from surfable! Stefan has not let go of the idea of inflatable high-performance boards since then!
