HOW IT BEGAN
The company behind the Levitaz brand ...
Geislinger GmbH equips the fastest ferries, the largest container ships, the biggest mining trucks and the largest wind turbines. Innovation and exceeding the limits by producing products of the highest quality drives the mechanical engineering company. The elements of water and wind are one field of application of products by Geislinger. Not only the fastest gas-powered high-speed ferry relies on a shaft by Geislinger, but also the largest wind turbines in the world are equipped with couplings by Geislinger.
With more than 25 years’ experience in developing fiber composite couplings and shafts, and with extensive experience in carbon fiber technology, Geislinger GmbH turned out to be the perfect partner for developing Levitaz Kitefoils.
While the Levitaz development and innovation team is located at the headquarters in Salzburg, Levitaz Hydrofoils are produced exclusively at the state-of-the-art Geislinger production facility for carbon fiber composite products, located in Bad St. Leonhard, Austria. Geislinger is proud to guarantee that Levitaz Kitefoils are produced 100% at its own production site in Austria. The intense collaboration and exchange between the Levitaz R&D department, the production team, and the team riders gives Levitaz a unique competitive advantage.

LIFETRAVELLERZ.com is a Travel & Kitesurf Blog written by the Austrian couple Melanie and Juergen. Based at the home of „sound of music“ in Mondsee, between dozens of lakes, mountains and nature you have to use the native resources of the region. While spring and autumn bring some storms and a lot of wind, summer is the perfect time for foiling on all this beautiful coloured lakes. Both of them love to live the surferlifestyle so they travel and work in their Campervan „Luigi“ and spend as much time as they can at the water. During the wintermonths when the temperatures in Austria fall far below zero the Lifetravellerz are searching for warmer places like Capetown, Cuba or Asia.
