Malmö entrepreneur Alexander Lind spent a year as a teen at a high school in California. Now, ten years after exchanging the Pacific for the waveless waters of the Öresund, he's raised 20 million kronor for his electric surfboard company.

A group of investors, including Dan Olofsson, the founder of the IT consulting firm Sigma, have put 20 million kronor into Radinn, a year after it launched its G2X wakeboard.

"He thinks it's a really exciting product," Calle Håkansson, the company's deputy chief executive told Sweden's Dagens Industri business newspaper of Olofsson's investment.
