Description
As one of Hungary’s most popular wakeboard career launch pad, the Bamboo Island stands in Lake Balaton, in 100 m distance from the coast of Siófok. Since 2001, each season will be set up that we designed and manufactured bamboo framed shielding structure.

The proposed pier superstructure frames of bamboo. The soluble components are fixed to metal bonding. The elements and the stability of the relationship between the flexible reused aluminium coffee maker parts and IFA truck hand brake bowden cables, we have achieved, parts of which are significantly cheaper than the professional, and fully to face.

The design has stood the test of time. The structure of the designed three-year period, but eight years apart and assembled all season, resisting the extreme weather conditions.
We made all the Bamboo Island’s graphic elements, logos, and signs too.
