Grounded in a passion for Sailing, NEILPRYDE was founded by no one less than a man called Neil Pryde – a passionate Sailor, who founded his business developing yachting Sails. At the beginning of the 1970ies, he saw a business opportunity in the upcoming Windsurfing industry and focused on developing Sails for that Sport, which marked the beginning of NEILPRYDE Windsurfing.
