Mystic: Rider Driven Watersports Equipment From The Netherlands
With a passion for big waves and harsh conditions, but held back by the limited equipment on the market, a pioneering group of Dutch kiteboarders & windsurfers set up Mystic, a brand that helps push riders further.
We caught up with Mystic Marketing Manager Jorn Thoes to see what direction they are taking in 2018.
What’s new with Mystic?
The R&D team at Mystic has created a dedicated collection for Kiteboarding, Windsurfing, Stand Up Paddling, and Lifestyle. We’ve combined our passion and on-water experiences with new trends, fabrics and innovations in order to deliver top quality products to stand out on the water day in, day out. The Mystic collection is filled with loads of new products and features. One of them is our fully updated boardbag range.
