Ste pomislili, da bi surfali, longboardali ter deskali na snegu po asfaltu in to na samo treh koleščkih? V Evropo prihaja produkt z imenom WaveOnBoard ali krajše W.O.B, ki se je od leta 2011 razvijal na azijskem tržišču, bolj natančno v Tajvanu. Predstavlja nekakšno filozofijo življenja ter predvsem tvoj življenjski stil ali po angleško rečeno tvoj lifestyle, ki bo povezal šport, druženje in ustvaril nova prijateljstva po celem svetu.
Celotno zgodbo sta začela pisati dva prijatelja, ki sta v začetku želela izdelati socialno-družaben projekt, ki temelji predvsem na druženju, surfanju in potovanju. Vse skupaj se je odvijalo od leta 2009 do 2011, ko je na tržišče priplavala znamka Waveonboard Co. Ltd.
Tehnično zasnovana deska, ki je s pomočjo inženirjev dobila svojo prvotno obliko, je sedaj na voljo v večih različnih velikostih, vsaka pa predstavlja svojevrsten užitek, saj so nekatere deske narejene predvsem na stabilnosti, kot druge za freestyle področje. Zavijanje ali carvanje še nikoli ni bilo tako enostavno, poleg tega pa ne smemo pozabiti tudi na enostavno in predvsem hitro poganjanje na položnih delih. Deska vam ponuja resnično svobodo z velikim užitkom, poleg vsega tega pa vam vsak trenutek v vašo kri lahko prinese veliko dozo adrenalina.
Spremenite vaš prosti čas v dozo surfanja in bordanja, kjerkoli že ste in se tako sprostite na poseben način, ki vam ga bo WaveOnBoard - W.O.B vsekakor lahko ponudil.

-Hi! How are you?
Great!
-Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am a 25 year old guy from Amsterdam who moved to Berlin 3 years ago to start a design studio called Your Neighbours. After having the studio for two years I founded a startup called Gidsy with my brother and an Austrian friend of ours and here we are! I also run a design blog called Little Big Details, which I really enjoy working on as well.
-Do you like mushrooms?
I love mushrooms, but only the ones that don't make you hallucinate and make great dinners. Actually, trying to get someone to help us find the right mushrooms was one of the reasons we started Gidsy! But I guess you knew that already haha.
-What exactly you doing on Gidsy?
I am the CPO here at Gidsy, that stands for "Chief Product Officer". That basically means I spend my days worrying about our product management and strategy of everything related to Gidsy. Designing things is still my passion, but I don't get to do that as often as I'd like to anymore! The good news is that all the other stuff is a lot of fun as well.
-What kind of message does Gidsy want to send people?
We just want to make it as easy as possible for anyone to find and offer unique things to do all over the world. We're tired of the current travel industry.
-What's Gidsy's next plan?
We have something really big coming up, we call it the "Columbus release". We've been working on this for months and its drastically going to improve the way Gidsy works and where it works. More news coming soon!
-Do you enjoy work with your brother Edial?
For sure! Its great to work with someone you know that well, it really speeds things up. Our other founder Phil has also been amazing and so has the rest of the team. We spend a lot of time trying to find the right people to work with and so far its been nothing but amazing.
-Can you share with us, what’s your daily schedule? Always flying?
Haha, I try to leave most of the traveling to Edial so I can focus on building the product. I still end up traveling quite a lot though but thats also because I visit my hometown Amsterdam regularly.
-Give some tips to who also want to start their own business?
Start tomorrow and don't listen to the naysayers.
-What do you think you’d like to do once in a lifetime?
Explore the bottom of the ocean.
-Recommend us one secret spot you love in Berlin.
The spot itself is not really secret I guess, but its really fun to hide from the security at Tempelhof park and stay there until it becomes night. The sky gets really amazing and it its just a very special place.
-Do you surf?
Yeah! I've been surfing ever since I was 14 and I've never stopped loving it since. My favorite place to surf is probably portugal, even though its usually quite crowded everywhere.
-Do you love traveling?
For sure! There's nothing more exiting then exploring new places and cultures.
-Do you cooking? What’s your Specialty dish?
I used to be a pizza maker for years during my studies. I used to make some pretty amazing pizza's but it requires so many things and preparation that these days I end up never making any.
-Do you like WaveonBoard?
Yeah I love it! I also find it quite amazing how it works and riding it has a very unique feeling to it.
-Where you usually ride W.O.B in Berlin?
Usually in the office! Its a great way to get around and clear your head a little. I also like to take it up to Tempelhof Park sometimes and ride on one of the landing strips. If the wind is in your back it's really amazing.
-Last questions, have you been to Taiwan? We are looking forward to your visiting to Taiwan and launching here.
Not yet! But I definitely will in the upcoming years. As for Gidsy, we'll launch there before the summer!
