From Castanheira de Pera to the World: The Birth of ÁS WATER
It all began in Castanheira de Pera, where António Santos, the founder of AS WATER, found in the calm, crystal-clear waters the perfect setting to pursue his passion for sports. With an early background in hospitality and later in industrial production, António was shaped by a life of dedication to sports and innovation.
At the age of 9, he began exploring the world of sports through rollerblading, skateboarding, and later snowboarding, to which he devoted nearly 20 years. In 2010, he discovered his passion for water sports with his first wakeboarding lesson, which would mark the beginning of a new adventure.
It was in 2014 that António was introduced to Schiller’s waterbikes, whose efficiency and performance sparked the idea of bringing this innovative concept to Portugal. The dream of sharing this experience with other water enthusiasts gave rise to AS WATER, a brand that not only sells and rents water bikes but also innovates with its own parts and accessories, designed to deliver the best performance.
