Manipura

Shops, Art craftsmen in La Ciotat

  • About 25 years ago, Nicolas Hervo and a group of young surfers from the area decided to make traditional local and recyclable surfboards.

  • Nicolas Hervo started shaping in 1982 at the age of 13 in a shaping workshop, Saga Jump, run by Frantz Daher.

    Nicolas founded the Manipura brand in 1992 and adopted the lifestyle of the artisan surfer.
    Since then he has been shaping and laminating his boards in La Ciotat where he pays attention to every detail.
    He continues to refine and perfect this process to make it available to you.

    Thanks to you, most of his boards are tested on most of the spots (point break and beachbreaks) around the world.
    Surfboards are on sale in the shop at 13 Boulevard Beaurivage, La Ciotat.
