Brunotti was founded in 1979 by Claudio Brunotti, a passionate Italian. He was a real bon vivant and a talented windsurfer, who competed in several World Cups. He started with shaping surfboards. His style was distinctive because Claudio was one of the first shapers who was using bright colours, new shapes, techniques and prints on a surfboards. Claudio was a perfectionist, his feeling for quality, technique and details was unique those days. It became the signature of our brand.
After the success of his surfboards Claudio started promotional T-shirts to promote his boards. Later he also designed beachwear and snowboard wear collection. He learned the young Jinne Sietsma his shaping techniques. In 1997 he moved back to Italy and sold his brand and company to 2 Dutch entrepreneurs. Nowadays Jinne Sietsma is still in charge of the shaping workshop, where Claudio started, in Scheveningen, the Netherlands. On this location Jinne is still developing new techniques and shapes for the Brunotti boards.
