Keep it in the family.
MANERA has been established and nurtured by the same family since day one.
We are proud to be independent, and one of the only family-owned and operated brands in the industry today. However, family means more than blood. It’s also the people who have stuck with us since day one.
MANERA is built on relationships. Those forged with riders, dealers, and manufacturers over decades. Together, we’ve created a family that’s loyal, independent, and focused on building a lasting legacy.
From receiving the very first products to seeing them in the water all over the U.K., Dom Yule has been with us every step of the way. Part of the MANERA family since day one, he’s the proud uncle who’s watched it all grow.
Welcome Gatien
Hailing from Guadeloupe, Gatien Delahaye is a stylish and powerful surfer with a passion for competition. His love for surfing began at age eight, as he and his brothers bought a board and took turns on it. Now a member of the French national surfing team, he has become a staple on the QS tour.
After a devastating knee injury derailed his 2023 season, he’s returned stronger, hungrier, and more determined than ever. Known for his smooth backside style and competitive drive, Gatien is determined to keep pushing and carving out a lasting career doing what he loves most.

What happened in the Salty Community?

We have been encouraging our athletes to make the most of their own backyards and homespots, to show that you sometimes don’t need to go far to have fun.
Luckily, they’ve been keen on taking us all along for the ride on their local adventures.
This month, Marcela showed us around her favorite spots near Rio in Brazil, along with her dog Malo who’s surely living his best life. Back in March, Pete jumped on a boat and explored some hidden spots on the remote West Coast of Vancouver Island in Canada.

Luca Vuillermet made it to the semi-final and placed fifth, while Ezio Bastianelli finished ninth.
No. 3
Ian Fontaine shared his latest surf edit, as he ventured in Morocco far from the crowded spots, between arid cliffs, camels and burning cactus. The goal, as always in FUN FIRST, was to find a wave, away from the crowds, and to enjoy it all.
