Welcome to the team!
Cash Souter is an Outer Banks grom with a passion for surfing, skating, and protecting the ocean. Cash started competing in 2020 and quickly made a name for himself with his constant stoke and willingness to charge hard on every wave.
Ryan Leopold is all about chasing barrels and keeping it real, literally. A core member of the REAL Watersports crew, Ryan is the go-to guy when it comes to testing surfboards, creating content and sharing his feedback with the community.
3D Designed Wetsuits
The most important aspect of a MANERA wetsuit is probably the way it is designed. A wetsuit should fit your body, not the other way around.
That’s why we design ours on a 3D body, ensuring every panel follows the natural curves of the body, and therefore a perfect fit. Our wetsuits deliver warmth, durability, comfort, and a fit that performs.
The End of the World
The End of the World won the Audience Award at the International Feature Film Competition of the Brest Surf Film Festival!
Three of the athletes featured in the film – Ian Fontaine, Yann Quilfen and Malo Jouanneau – were in Brest to attend the showing of the movie as well.
What happened in the Salty Community?
No. 1 Local Adventures
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, Sanna, or shall we say “a coastal creature of habit”, went on a surf trip worthy of a BBC nature documentary. Watch with the sound on.
Over in California, Luca spent the night by one of his favorite spots to make sure he would be the first one in the water the next day.
No. 2
Congratulations to María Catalina Turienzo, a local athlete from Argentina, who finished fourth in the Open Trophy ranking of the 2025 Formula Kite European Championships in Türkiye.
No. 3
Ian Fontaine and his surf club team 29hood have become the new 2025 French Interclub Champions! This title earns them a place to represent France and Brittany at the Interclub World Championships, which will take place in Australia in early 2026.
Congratulations also to the club’s second team, which included Malo Jouanneau, who finished fifth!
No. 4
Since Rippin’ Rosie and her human are now part of the local MANERA U.S. team, we might seriously need to start thinking about a Hot Dog Magma line. What do you think?
One thing is for sure, she’s scoring a lot more than we are over here in the Mediterranean.
