MANERA: Salty News July 2024

Summer Essentials

As summer heats up, make sure you have all your essentials ready with MANERA.

Whether you’re hitting new spots or trying out different sports, our high-quality gear ensures you’re prepared for every adventure. Our collection includes everything you need: stylish t-shirts, Bobbys and hats, watercaps, wetshirts, protection vests and more.

Have you checked out the MANERA S-FOAM Helmet yet?

Watch the Crash Test demonstrating the shock absorption capacity of the S-FOAM technology.

It is certified for surfing, and protects against impacts during your session or from potential injuries from other watermen (surf foilers, wing foilers, etc.)

We love seeing some of you already wear it surfing, downwinding, and SUP foiling!

Welcome to the Team!

Mô Chauvin and Lily Buden

Mô Chauvin

Mô Chauvin hails from the stunning shores of New Caledonia, where her love for the water began. With a passion for sailing ignited early on, Mô had already logged countless hours on the water at a young age. At 13, she took up windsurfing, before moving to surfing, kitesurfing and eventually wing foiling in the following years.

Ever cheerful, Mô loves to share sessions with friends and experience the feelings of freedom and weightlessness the sport brings. Embodying the joy of adventure, she dreams of sailing the world with all her gear in tow and ride the best spots.

Lily Buden

Born and raised on Maui, Lily Buden is a passionate waterwoman and is absolutely ripping no matter what she rides. Always excited about water sports, you will find this young grom wing foiling, surf foiling, downwinding or even SUP foiling whenever the conditions are good. What she loves most is sharing a session with her friends and family, especially with her dad who taught her how to foil.
