Point65 & Magnus De Brito
Point65 & Magnus de Brito
Point 65 is developing some of the most exciting and revolutionizing products in the kayak industry,
Point 65 proudly presents the latest addition to our team, Magnus de Brito, one of Scandinavia’s leading designers.
Magnus has headed design projects for industry giants such as Porsche, Intelligent Sound, Pirelli Boats and Agipi Marine. Using computer science technology, Magnus was responsible for streamlining parts of the new generation Porsche Boxter 987, Carrera 997 and Carrera GT.
The Pirelli boat design won the prestigious 2009
Red Dot design award, “Best of the Best.” Working for
Pirelli and Agipi Marine has given Magnus engineering experience in marine design technology – experience not usually available to kayak companies.
Magnus was only 18 when he developed the first commercially viable wind surfing harness. He went on to earn his Master of Science degree in Design and Product Development from the University of Linköping,
Sweden. Throughout his career, his passion for water
sports – and designing the best water crafts – has
continued unabated. Now, at Point 65, Magnus is applying both his engineering skills and his kayaking expertise to our most challenging design projects including the new
XP series and the Tequila!
