Tell us a little bit about your business, how it started out and where you're based.
Onwater Flyboard Mallorca started in 2012. We think that "OnWater-Events" need specialists due to the element of the water. Our whole team grew up or has a close affinity to the water, either as an instructor or OnWater-Event Manager. Since 2013, we specialise in flyboarding, a brand new water sport for everybody. We organise group events, stag trips and company events, all related to water activities. Based out of Port Calanova, we operate mainly on the south-west coast of the island.
How long have you been in your current role and how long have you been with the company?
I started the company together with my brother Martin in 2012. He is the "OnWater-Event" manager.
What makes Mallorca a special place to be for someone in your profession or in general?
I like the seasonal set up so we have time for optimisation and upgrading during the winter. The island is surrounded by water. We are always finding new, nice spots to go to with groups either on a boat trip or on a stand-up paddle trip.
What are the best bits about your job?
Meeting so many people and see their happy faces when they are with us on the water.
And the worst bits?
Spanish bureaucracy!
What is in store for the future with your business, any exciting projects in the pipelines that you can share with us?
For this summer we are going to fly with three flyboards at the same time, which means more action, more fun and more people getting the chance to do it. And we invented an easy start system so the first steps are even easier.
What are your personal and professional goals for the future?
We want to establish "OnWater-Events" in Mallorca and not to run a beach-based business, chasing customers down at the beach. It's all about the group spirit and not the ego trip. As the whole team is totally keen on water we are going to start more water-based activities like sailing, kite-surfing, stand-up paddle boarding and wake-boarding.
