Finian Maynard joins 99NoveNove!

The rumours are true, Finian Maynard has decided to join up-and-coming Italian board brand NoveNove on a long term relationship with the clear goal of building the 99 brand image and market position in the high-performance windsurfing segment.

Finian Maynard has been a respected name in the sport for many years with a very knowledgeable understanding of the technical and sporting side of windsurfing with 11 World Records and world titles to his name. Finian’s 20-years of design and development experience and success along with his competitive nature in competitions coupled with his strong desire is a burning fire full of motivation and focus.

Quote from 99 brand manager Cesare Cantagalli:

“On behalf of all the 99NoveNove Team, we are very proud to have Finian on board. This is an amazing challenge for us with a strong motivation to bring both Finian and 99NoveNove to the top of the slalom rankings in the years to come.

I have no doubt about the team work potential when combining Gianni and Finian’s experience with the aim of top performance and every detail being fine-tuned to perfection. The slalom//freerace collections will be the main focus of Finian’s work leading to all designs and developments in great synergy with Gianni.

Our own custom factory in Italy will support Finian by providing all the necessary tools to develop the fastest and most unique boards in the market…so…stay tuned!!

Quote from Finian Maynard:

“I am very happy to join the 99NoveNove team! I believe in the direction the company is headed and once it became obvious that their goals aligned with mine then coming
together to form this partnership made absolute sense.

In terms of the future, 99 has some cutting edge technology tools at their disposal and I am keen to take my design and development work to the next level working alongside shaper Gianni Valdambrini and his team.

My motivation has not been this strong in years so I really look forward to preparing for my PWA racing comeback in 2015 after taking a much needed sabbatical for the second half of 2014.”
