Mat de Misaine Alongside Emmanuelle Blanchet, Para Surfer for the French National Team
A story of waves, determination and the Atlantic.
Mat de Misaine is proud to support Emmanuelle Blanchet, a high-level para surfer and member of the French national team.
A member of the Surfing Club de Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Emmanuelle competes in the Kneel category, a para surfing discipline practised on the knees.
An athlete from our local area whose journey, connection to the ocean and values naturally echo the story of Mat de Misaine.
From Sport to Rebuilding Through Para Surfing
Emmanuelle Blanchet’s journey is one of remarkable determination.
In 2019, a serious accident at work changed her daily life. Sport then became part of her recovery, gradually leading her towards para surfing.
Wave after wave and competition after competition, Emmanuelle continued to progress, eventually reaching elite level and joining the French national para surfing team.
Today, she competes in national and international competitions.
Her journey embodies values that are particularly important to Mat de Misaine: perseverance, authenticity, pushing beyond one’s limits and a deep connection to the ocean.
Kneel Para Surfing, a Discipline Practised on the Knees
Emmanuelle competes in the Kneel category, a para surfing discipline in which athletes surf on their knees.
Images from her competitions perfectly capture this connection with the waves: finding the right line, moving with the rhythm of the ocean and embracing the elements.
A maritime world that naturally resonates with the Mat de Misaine universe.
A Meaningful Partnership, on Land and on the Water
Through this partnership, Mat de Misaine aims to support Emmanuelle’s sporting journey in a tangible way.
The brand provides financial support to help her pursue her projects and compete in events. Emmanuelle also receives a Mat de Misaine wardrobe for everyday life, travel and her various commitments.
More than simply a brand collaboration, this partnership reflects our desire to support a local athlete competing at the highest level.
The photographs you received are particularly effective in telling both sides of this story: Emmanuelle on the waves, followed by Emmanuelle in her everyday life wearing Mat de Misaine.
Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and the Atlantic as a Common Thread
This partnership also has a strong local dimension.
Emmanuelle is a member of the Surfing Club de Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, the town where the Mat de Misaine story began.
On one side, the Atlantic as a training ground and competition arena. On the other, the ocean as a source of inspiration for our universe.
One shared territory and one clear connection: the Atlantic.
