Who are we?
The brand that lets you experience the ocean differently. Have you ever heard that the limits of the land are not those of the sea? The ocean increases our possibilities tenfold, allowing us to cross thresholds that once felt out of reach. It opens up the field of OUR possibilities. And yet, do we really know how to experience the ocean differently, to benefit from the full diversity of what it offers?
This is the rich and powerful experience we're inviting as many people as possible to discover. And the experience we offer is, above all, our own.
Julie (Co-founder): "I’ve been enjoying the ocean since I was very young, but it was my recent discovery of waterwalking that truly transformed my relationship with it. I got into this water sport out of curiosity and fun, and here I am today, just two years later, a medallist in the French Championships. The ocean, approached differently, has led me to discover new parts of myself, unsuspected talents, as if carried by a surge of confidence that has empowered me, all thanks to the incredible possibilities the ocean offers."
Damien (Co-Founder): "As an outdoor extreme sports enthusiast, I’ve always loved pushing myself against the strength and power of the sea. The sea is my element, I’ve always felt ‘better in the water than on land.’ So when, after an accident, I was told that my passions might no longer be within reach, it was a real blow. It was by turning to the ocean, seeking not just emotional comfort, but physical recovery too, that I discovered its incredible ability to heal."
The ocean, which seemed so familiar to us, has opened up a whole new world of possibilities, offering us the diversity of its benefits. The ocean, which we'd always thought of as a hobby, appeared to us as a source of salvation, a source of revelation, a source of promise. And so Mellow Sea was born.
Our mission: to make the ocean and its benefits accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of age, profile or time of year. By offering a wetsuit that is practical, comfortable, adaptable, safe and reassuring.
To give everyone the chance to live a richer life through the ocean. To live in the water as fully as on land, and to offer those who seek it the chance to go beyond their limits. To offer more life, again and again, because in the end, we all deserve to live life more intensely.

Respect
Respect for people : Whether it's towards our employees, our partners, our suppliers, our competitors or our customers, we attach great importance to the way we treat and interact with them.
Respect for the environment : because the sea and nature are our playgrounds, because they are part of our daily lives, because we want to share them with our friends, our children, our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren, and because we don't like Green Washing... We are taking concrete action to limit the impact of our actions on the environment.
We have an upcycling programme where we collect and recycle towels to create ponchos, beach bags, car seat covers, etc. In just one year we have recycled over a tonne of towels. This is done in collaboration with a local workshop that is both inclusive and supportive, 80% of its employees are people with disabilities.
We’re also expanding this upcycling programme to include other materials such as paraglider canvas, event banners, and neoprene.
Finally, we’ve created a second-hand initiative, offering test items or repaired products for sale, giving our gear a second life.

Well-being
Access to well-being for everyone through the ocean is our main objective. We develop our products with this in mind.
As part of our adaptive sports programme, we offer free customisation of our wetsuits to meet the specific needs of users with disabilities. Because every disability is unique, and so are the needs of each individual.
We donate 10% of our profits to the local organisation Panasea, which runs ocean therapy programmes. Panasea supports the mental and physical rehabilitation of many people through the healing power of the sea.
Proximity
For us, being close to our customers is essential as we want to develop the most appropriate products.
Sincerity and Transparency
The DNA and overall approach of Mellow Sea is guided by sincerity. We carefully choose partners who share our values of inclusion. Our upcycling and second-hand programmes, along with our adaptive sports initiatives, are all driven by a genuine commitment to make a difference.
We’re not perfect, and we don’t pretend to be. But we strive every day to do better.
