Eisbach Riverwave in 2011
Big Ding was born in 2011 between the destructive stone walls of Munich’s infamous Eisbach river wave, founded by Tao Schirrmacher and Felix Häußinger.
Started in a Garage
As a passion project, Tao and Felix began producing their first handmade surfboard repair kits in a garage in Munich.
Global B2B Distribution
Since then, the products have been continuously refined, with production outsourced to German and European partners. Today, Big Ding is available in a steadily growing number of surf shops across Europe.
