Salty is a feeling.
It’s getting wild on the ocean, the sea spray all over our faces.
It’s part of who you become when you’re out there, lost with friends.
It’s the salt encrusted in us after a long day playing with the waves.
After a shower the salt is gone, but the feeling stays there.
STAY SALTY, no matter what.
Listen to Greg Beneteau, one of our most dedicated and passionnate brand ambassadors, explain what staying salty means to him as he recalls one of his favorite sessions to date.
“MANERA is not just about the moments spent in the water, but also about all the moments shared afterwards.“

Hold Me
Juliette Lacome grew up surfing the waves of Biarritz. In “Hold Me”, she returns home to reconnect with what shaped her: the ocean, her routine, and the wetsuit she wears every day.
Shot between Biarritz and the Landes, the film blends voice, surf, and music into a quiet, personal portrait of her connection to the elements, and to herself.

No. 6
Who let the dogs out…?
Rosie and her human Steve just paw-sitively crushed it at the World Dog Surfing Championships. From World Champion in Dog-Human Tandem to Dog-Dog Tandem with “The Dream Team”, Rosie proved once again she’s the ulti-mutt surf star. Congrats Rosie & Steve!
No. 7: Watch This!
“Creatures of Habit”, a surf movie directed by Nate Laverty and featuring our very own Pete Devries, is available on YouTube.
The film explores the boundaries and embraces the uncertainty in surfing unpredictable and challenging locations. Shot in Canada and Iceland, the aim is to leave behind the comforts and certainties learned over time and embrace the cold and discomfort.
