When Apnée and Surfing Embrace the Same Values
Surfing and Apnée share a deep connection with the ocean. While one is a sport and the other is an eco-friendly swimwear brand , they both embrace common values of love and respect for the sea. Let’s explore how the history of surfing and Apnée’s mission come together to promote a sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle.
The origins of surfing: an ancestral passion
Surfing has its origins in ancient Polynesian cultures, particularly in Hawaii, where it was much more than just a sport. Hawaiian surfers considered the sea to be a sacred entity. Surfing was therefore a way to connect spiritually with the ocean. Surfing was then a demonstration of respect for nature, a ritual that strengthened the bond between man and the marine environment.
The Core Values of Surfing
At the heart of surfing are values of respect, community and adventure. Surfers are taught from the beginning to respect the ocean, its vagaries and dangers. The discipline instills a deep appreciation for natural beauty and the need to preserve it. The surfing community is united by a shared passion and a sense of solidarity, where helping each other and sharing the waves are common practices.
Apnea: a brand inspired by its passion for the oceans
