Freedivers, spearfishermen or competitive divers, they use our fins during their training sessions, their dives at sea and their competitions.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Their practical experience is essential. Thanks to their feedback, we can test our products in real-world conditions, fine-tune the feel and continue to improve our fins to meet the expectations of the most demanding users. Beyond performance, they all share the same values: a passion for the ocean, technical rigour and a constant desire to progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For as long as I can remember, I\u2019ve always felt better underwater: freer, lighter, more alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, I joined the Vannes freediving club to improve my technique. A year later, I started competing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I took part in more and more competitions, I was lucky enough to come across Air-Fins. The team\u2019s ambition and enthusiasm won me over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I\u2019m delighted to be contributing to this project focused on creating high-performance fins: it gives meaning to my sport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Enthusiast about freediving and spearfishing since I was very young, and I practise these disciplines with rigour and dedication. In 2025, I was fortunate enough to become French Champion in the 8\u00d750 m freediving sprint, a significant milestone in my sporting career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am delighted to be joining the Air-Fins team. The vision, expertise and project led by Fred and his team bring real added value to these high-quality French-made fins. It is a pleasure to represent a brand that shares the same high standards of performance, quality and passion for the ocean. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been spearfishing since I was a teenager. It\u2019s a passion my father passed on to me, and one that has never left me. Now a member of the CSN in Nantes, I\u2019m also involved in fin swimming competitions, a sport that nurtures my connection to the sea and my desire to push my limits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m proud to be part of the Air-Fins team because of their expertise in developing high-performance fins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I joined a diving club at the age of 15. Very quickly, I moved on to competitive spearfishing at BPL level. At the same time, I played underwater hockey, making it into the French national team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past eight years, I\u2019ve been competing in open-water swimming, taking part in BPL championships and the French championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After many years of competing in these three disciplines, I\u2019ve learnt that physical fitness isn\u2019t everything. You also need top-quality equipment to perform well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the AIR-FINS team, I\u2019ve found people who listen to my feedback on the different fins I\u2019ve tried, offering high-quality, locally manufactured products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been spearfishing for about twenty years, from Finist\u00e8re to the Vend\u00e9e coast. Since 2007, I\u2019ve also been lucky enough to work as a sales assistant specialising in diving, spearfishing and freediving, which allows me to live out my passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, I decided to join a freediving club to further develop my skills and explore new sensations in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What immediately appealed to me about AIR-FINS was the concept: French manufacturing combined with the use of recycled technical materials to create a high-range product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was immediately impressed by the fins\u2019 performance. Thanks to my job, I have the opportunity to try out many models on the market, and I can say that AIR-FINS clearly ranks among the very best in terms of performance and feel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I started out as a scuba diving instructor, until a decompression accident brought everything to a halt. With COVID and the lockdown, I found myself out of work. To make a living, I returned to the sea in a different way: spearfishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I soon realised the limitations of practising on my own. I then got in touch with Franck Daoubens and Christian Vogler, who became my mentors and then my friends. Thanks to them, I trained, improved my skills and became an AIDA freediving instructor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an operation to correct a heart condition that had caused my accident, I was able to start afresh on a sound footing. Together with Moya, my companion, we set up Beneath the Waves Freediving Lanzarote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I work with partners who share my values, such as AIR-FINS. Their high standards regarding the quality and performance of their equipment align perfectly with my vision: to offer the very best, without compromise, to every freediver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
