BAKS Distribution is hiring

Sales Representative

Why join us – Do you share a passion for the ocean? Are you open to trying new things? Do you want to find a job where you can love the hours spent in the office as much as the ones spent on the water? Can you multitask in a fast paced environment? Can you tackle tasks you might not be familiar with but with resolve, quick learning and attention to details, to be successful? Do you already practice one of those sports: surfing, kiteboarding, winging, foiling, sailing, or any watersport? Do you want to be a part of a family? If you answered yes to all these questions then you should definitely contact us at career@bayareakitesurf.com

BAKS Distribution is the North American distributor for F-One & Manera, two brands run by the same family, based in the south of France and well known for making innovative and premium products for surfing, kiting, winging and foiling. F-One designs, tests and produces the hardware gear you need to practice all these sports such as wings, foils, kites, and boards. Manera makes soft goods such as wetsuits so nobody has to get out of the water because they are cold or uncomfortable. F-One was born in 1996, Manera a little later being an offspring of F-One. We, as the North American distributor, have been in this business since 2006, and both of these brands are currently growing as they are widely recognized as leaders in their own markets.
