In 2010, after years of searching for the ideal windsurfing equipment, we decided to create our own, giving rise to TILLO INTERNATIONAL.
Our journey began with a focus on crafting custom boards and fins. Over time, our passion and innovation led us to expand into foils, and we’ve continued to evolve ever since.
Today, we offer a comprehensive range of products, including boards, sails, foils, masts, booms, and various other windsurfing components. Our goal is simple: to create functional, high-performance gear that excels in real-world conditions. Our design philosophy emphasizes maximizing power with minimal size, ensuring top-tier performance, particularly in light wind and flat-water environments.
TILLO INTERNATIONAL is also committed to supporting the next generation of windsurfers, with a strong focus on youth. We’ve developed a number of youth windsurfing programs across the country to help foster the sport among young riders.
All of our products are designed and developed in Miami, USA, and tested worldwide, ensuring we provide the best equipment for riders around the globe.
At TILLO INTERNATIONAL, we build gear for every windsurfer, no matter their level or location.

Here a bit of my background :
Alex Morales journeyed from Cuba to America… by windsurfer. This is the story of his brave journey across the ocean and to becoming a respected board shaper. Images and words by Timothy Venn.
Like many of Miami’s population, Alex Morales’s life started in the Communist dictatorship of Cuba – but his journey since has been unlike any other. Fascinated by his first sight of a windsurfer as an eight year-old boy, he knew he was bitten by the windsurfing bug that was sweeping the world. However, with no windsurfing opportunities for kids, he had to make do with sailing dinghies and begging the local windsurfers for a try on their boards.
This is when young Alex showed the first signs of his improvisational, ‘get-it-done’ attitude when he started to build his own kid’s windsurfer. “I started building Styrofoam boards and bamboo masts and booms. It was jury-rigged gear like a typical third-world kid – but it was the only gear I could get for my size.” Finally, a few years later, he was able graduate to real boards, and his dedication and persistence paid off when he won the 1987 Youth Event and was selected to be in the Cuban Olympic windsurfing team in 1989….click HERE for more ….. and the story continues…
