Paul Artzner

I've been a rider since the summer of 2021, focusing on wingfoiling, surf foiling, dockstarting, and both flatwater and downwind SUP foiling. In 2022, I competed extensively in various events, including GWA, European, and national competitions. Currently, I am the founder of A3D, a brand specializing in wingfoil accessories. We have pioneered the first retractable harness line, named ARTNESS. My current work revolves around creating compelling images to effectively market and sell our product.
