Brand Origin

The Skatinger brand was founded in California, USA in 2018 by Anneli Levanen, an outdoor traveler and water sports enthusiast from Hanko, Finland. Inspired by the long beaches and open waters of her hometown, Anneli spent years exploring natural landscapes and diverse waterways across the globe. These journeys revealed to her the unique sense of freedom and balance that paddling brings. Motivated by this passion, she combined her eye for design with her love for water sports to create Skatinger – a brand that celebrates exploration, creativity, and the beauty of nature while delivering paddleboards that meet the needs of modern adventurers.

Brand Philosophy

At Skatinger, we believe paddleboarding is not just a sport, but a way of life. Every board we create is guided by our philosophy of merging aesthetic appeal, stability, and outstanding performance into one seamless product. Our designs are crafted with care to inspire confidence, while ensuring that every paddler—regardless of skill level—can enjoy the water with ease and security. We are committed to offering paddleboards that are both fashionable and functional, allowing users to discover new horizons, embrace adventure, and feel the liberating joy that comes from being on the water. Our goal is simple: to make the transformative experience of paddling accessible to everyone.

Brand Story

Growing up in the abundant sunshine and along the sandy beaches of Hanko, Anneli Levanen cultivated a deep love for outdoor exploration. Her personal journey, fueled by countless hours on the water, became the foundation for Skatinger’s vision. She continues to play an active role in shaping every detail of our products—ensuring that each design unites fashion with functionality. From the coastlines of her native Finland to waters around the world, the Skatinger brand has one mission: to deliver paddleboards that allow people to embrace freedom, creativity, and exploration. With every board, we aim to provide not just a product, but a meaningful experience—an invitation to connect with nature, challenge yourself, and enjoy the endless possibilities the water offers.
