Mistral's success story starts in 1976, when the originally Swiss brand develops an innovative concept as a result of its passion for water and wind: surf boards with a sail. A new surfing dimension was born and appears an international hit. Mistral sets the standard in the development of windsurfing boards. Technological innovations rapidly follow, new materials are being developed and tested.

Mistral turns windsurfing into an international sport and even launched the  Mistral World Cup Team. The brand and windsurfing become synonyms: Mistral is windsurfing, windsurfing is Mistral!
