Julien Salles, Manera Brand Manager: At MANERA we have always been passionate kiteboarders, surfers, foilers… but since the beginning the core business has been kiteboarding. It’s natural and exciting for us to be able to offer our products to a broader audience and to any person that enjoys their time on the water. MANERA is moving forward its vision to include surfing, with the same passion, philosophy and commitment we are doing every day for kiteboarders, foilers, wingers, SUPers… We believe the customer of the future will be multisport and will have an arsenal of gear in its quiver to adapt to any conditions, in order to spend more time on the water.\u00a0All our sports are crossing over each other and we believe this is a generational change that is happening right now.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n

\u201c Surfing can be cathartic, it\u2019s a healthy escape…”<\/b><\/h4>\n

Can you tell us a bit more about your passion for surfing?\u00a0<\/b>Surfing can be cathartic, it\u2019s a healthy escape from everyday life. It also makes me appreciate nature. I think surfing is special because of those qualities.<\/p>\n

You just won the lottery, what would you do first?\u00a0<\/b>I\u2019d probably just make sure I\u2019m financially sound. I\u2019d try not to be ostentatious.<\/p>\n

Next destination?\u00a0<\/b>Hopefully to a wave that\u2019s fun and uncrowded.<\/p>\n

\u201c Hopefully to a wave that\u2019s fun and uncrowded. \u201d<\/b><\/h4>\n

What\u2019s the most amazing thing you\u2019ve experienced?\u00a0<\/b>I visited Iceland a few years ago and was lucky enough to see the ethereal northern lights. It was an otherworldly experience!<\/p>\n

What are you doing during a day without waves?\u00a0<\/b>Many things. It depends on my to-do list.<\/p>\n
