Annual Madness vs.Lasting Icons

THE CONTEMPORARY
GOYA SAIL RANGE

There used to be a time when we would blindly follow the example of the fashion industry and produce a new set of every product every year. A piece of gear with last year’s or even the current year’s tag on it was considered outdated. And despite the rest of the industry still being stuck in this paradigm, we consider it madness.

We encourage you to walk a new path with us. Think of iconic automobile and computer brands, and how there is beauty and reason in keeping a product consistent for a number of years. Rather than an indication of lacking ideas it’s a testament to the brilliance that went into the development of the initial product in the first place.

And that is exactly what we do at Goya, developing a new product for the sake of improving the use of it, not for the sake of updating graphics annually. We love graphics, but we create them to make an amazing new product stand out even more, not to give the impression of revolutionizing our portfolio year after year.

So when you see a piece of gear carrying last year’s digits, with us that simply means the product was conceived that year, it’s an indication for you to know which model you are talking about. However, the actual item you are holding in your hands may have been produced only weeks before arriving at your local shop, and certainly undergoes constant product improvement, even when we don’t run a big ad campaign about it.

Needless to say our shift in strategy is also driven by an ecological awareness. The waste and redundancy involved in generating new looks without added benefits is heartbreaking to us. We rather focus our new found energy on developing sustainable materials for the windsurfing industry together with our suppliers, as we consider them much needed, so that one day it won’t matter how much gear you buy and throw away per year, because the environmental impact will be a neutral one. There will then be no need to be “less bad” any more. We consider that a goal more worth aspiring than being the first brand to release the next but one season’s range.

We hope you’re with us on this big one and thank you for your trust in our brand and its products.
