THE BIRTH OF WOODYS BARCELONA

It all started with Josep Dosta, currently responsible for Woodys Barcelona, and his favorite hobby, the wakskate; a water sport and an adaptation of wakeboarding without bindings, kind of like skateboarding on water. Josep and his cousin devoted so much time to that fascinating sport to the point where they began to redesign and improve their own wakeskate boards. This was Joseph’s first contact with the wood. Long hours of hard training and the passion for the sport, helped him develop a special skill and understanding of the wood board.

That is how he started adding important technical improvements to the wakeskate boards, which lead him to win the European Wakeskating Championship in 2013, he then returned to win the title in 2014 and 2015. In one of the training sessions Josep’s sunglasses fell off in the vast swamp, as it was usual practice. Worried about finding a solution he came up with the idea of trying to make sunglasses with the same material as the wakeskate board.

It was a very special summer. Friends and acquaintances were all astonished at the results, and all wanted a pair. Next he started his first sales. It was an original and innovative product. The popularity of the glasses was evident, and quickly they started to be praised by fashion photographers who used them in their photographic sessions. Without realizing it, Woodys Barcelona was born. What started as only a dream had become true.
