WELCOME TO THE TEAM

Based on France’s Charente-Maritime coast, Kenzo Lamoureux grew up surfing the estuary waves with his dad and friends. He’s been competing extensively both nationally and internationally, building his surfing around consistency, solid turns, and time in the water. At home on the Wild Coast, Kenzo values surf sessions shared with friends and family above anything else.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE SALTY COMMUNITY?

NO. 1

Earlier this year, Dane Reynolds and U.S. team rider Dimitri Poulos rolled into the 44th annual Rincon Classic for the Pro Invitational and put on a proper show.
Dimitri took the win in the division, while Dane did what Dane does best, drawing wild lines and surfing with that unmistakable style that still turns heads every time he paddles out. The event also had a special family moment, with Dane sharing a few waves alongside his son Sammy, competing there for the first time.

Also, did you know that Dane has a podcast?
Tune into the new StabMic, a weekly-ish talk show on all things surf, featuring the world’s best, hosted by Dane and Stab Mag’s Dooma Fahrenfort.

NO. 3

Luca Vuillermet claimed his first GWA Wingfoil World Tour podium, finishing in third place at the opening Surf-Freestyle stop of the 2026 season in Leucate, France! After more than 10 semi-final appearances and in a strong international field of riders from 12 countries, Luca broke through when it counted to secure his spot on the podium in challenging conditions and consistent light winds.

NO. 4

Maxime Chabloz, our kiteboarding and freeride skiing powerhouse, has officially qualified for the 2027 Freeride World Tour! After a tough 2025 season marked by difficult runs that ultimately led to relegation to the Challenger Series, Maxime spent the past year battling his way back stop after stop. A pretty incredible comeback for the 2022 world champion, who is the proof that determination always pays off.

Don’t miss the upcoming BING Demo Day!

Bing Surfboards was founded in 1959 by Bing Copeland in the South Bay of Los Angeles. The original storefront was right on the strand in Hermosa Beach. It was quite small, with about 15-20 boards in the showroom and the shaping rooms were in the back just behind the register. Back then we didn’t sell any type of clothing or accessories, just surfboards. We have never carried any big-box wetsuit brands. When we first learned about MANERA and its line of products, it seemed like a great fit for a wide range of consumers looking for high-quality wetsuits and accessories. We also appreciated the minimalist branding and clean color palette used on everything. Once we were shown the history and design process that MANERA has, it was a done deal. We knew they’d be great partners.” 

Demo Details

The second round of “San O Sundays” is just around the corner, so mark your calendars! We’ll have over 20 boards to ride, pit crew @condorthefish and @greylockwoodphoto will be on hand to answer any questions and get you dialed, plus the whole thing is 100% FREE. 

Sunday, February 23rd 7am – 12pm

First come first serve, must have a credit card & ID to shred.

@ Four Doors, San Onofre

Why Don’t We Sell Our Products on MANERA.COM?

Why don’t we sell our products on manera.com?

Local shops are the keystone of our sports.
Tight-knit communities frequently blossom and prosper around them: local events, comps, test days, local rippers first sponsor, happy and well-advised customers…

More on IG

Picture the tropical smell of wax, endless rows of gleaming boards, hangers overflowing with new wetsuits, these are welcome sensations upon entering a shop and chatting with the hipster salesman about the newest gear available.
It is all an experience, not solely a transaction. Don’t you want kids in 20 years’ time to walk in and experience these shops the way we all did?

Our sports are fragile ecosystems, and skipping over local shops in the name of profit and margin is a short-term game. This is why we don’t sell direct, and 100% of our products are sold through retailers.

More than a sales strategy, it is a commitment to our culture.
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHOP.

Ready to Escape

Watch the Movie

Designed, built, and tested to follow the most hardened of seafarers.
Those who can’t resist the call.

For the most passionate.
For the early risers who hit the spot at dawn, for the ones who rage until nightfall.
For those who live with constantly salty skin, for the loners who venture far from the coast.
For the madmen who simply can’t resist the call.

The Collection

Wing Harness

We have developed light and adaptable harnesses with a low profile.

Harness or belt, choose the option that fits your needs.

The Lift Harness -Wing

For us at MANERA, a wing harness is there to go unnoticed when free flying while providing the necessary support to go back upwind. That’s why we have developed a light and adaptable harness with a low profile. See it as a “lift” back to the top of the downwind!

Shop the Lift

The Leash Belt -Wing

Having one leash on your wrist and the other one on your ankle can be tricky to manage, especially in strong winds. The LEASH BELT is made to attach your wing or board leash when wing, surf or SUP foiling. It has a very strong construction and provides multiple attachment points. 

Shop the Leash Belt

Harness Spareparts

All the spare parts you need to equip or complete your wing harnesses.

You think winging doesn’t require a harness, until you get a taste of free flying. Then you want to go upwind as much as possible and enjoy the feeling of gliding downwind effortlessly.

Our WING HOOK will help you do just that. It is adaptable to any wing harness/leash belt that has a 50mm large front strap.

Shop the Wing Hook

Protection

We have designed everything you need to get out there and feel safe.

New disciplines often imply new risks. Nowadays, wing foilers and downwinders are going further offshore to tackle the best bumps.

The VAGABOND Impact Vest has been developed as a minimalistic, highly comfortable vest featuring the necessary tools to go offshore.

Shop the Vagabond Vest

The S-FOAM helmet uses an innovative material that allowed us to create a soft, fitted helmet that is very comfortable to ride with.

We always refused to make bulky, hard helmets because they are very uncomfortable to wear in the wind, and horrible to surf with. They could even be dangerous as they make the impact in the water even harder for your neck.

We hope you are Ready to Escape.
