History of the company

By the time Charlie Pigeon set up his firm, he had already spent 18 years working for major water sports speedboat companies such as MasterCraft, Supra and Malibu Boats. Paige has formulated his task as follows: to create a product that would satisfy 100% of customers.

The first boat Tige entered the market in 1992 and immediately received the title of Breakthrough of the «Year in one of the» profile magazines.

In 1995, Tige developed the TAPS (Tigé Adjustable Performance System), a boat hull trimming system that allows you to change the waveform, and in 1996 the company switched to wakeboarding boats. Tige began to sponsor a team of athletes, popularizing wakeboarding. In 2003 Tige patented its other inventions - TAPS2 system and Convex V body, which allow you to quickly change the wave settings to suit the needs of the wakeboarder.
