The Company is focused on becoming a water boardsports brand of long-term excellence by their commitment to exceeding customers' expectations in producing products of the highest quality and athletic performance.

Vitamin Blue has begun to focus efforts on exploiting a new high growth water boardsport market segment, the SUP (standup paddle) market. SUP is considered to be the fastest growing sport in the world. The company has been involved in this new segment since its reintroduction a few years back.
The SUP segment has seen rapid growth in popularity in recent years because of the accessibility of the sport. You can SUP on any body of water (ocean, lake or river) throughout the world. Also, non-surfers can learn to SUP fairly quickly, typically within minutes. These two factors account for its meteoric potential for growth worldwide. Cameron Diaz, Pierce Brosnan, Matthew McConaughey and Cindy Crawford are notable celebrities that have begun to participate in the sport.
This all plays into Vitamin Blue's goal of becoming a premier brand in the water boardsports arena and become the largest boardbag manufacturer in the world.
