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…
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.
