« to the quest for the summits! »
Helias and Moken is above all a meeting between adventure and nature lovers. Helias travels the world and especially the summits. He is an extreme adventurer. He is as comfortable in the mountains as he is on the sea with his surfboard. He's an outdoor sports lunatic (just like us, even if we stay at the foot of the mountain). His versatility and humanity have brought us together. Welcome in the team dear Helias !
Helias
Millerioux
Born in Paris, Helias starts his ascent by the blocks of Fontainebleau. A must for this intrepid climber who dreams of only one thing, climbing the summits. At the age of 18 he prepares the entrance exam to ENSA. At the age of 21, he became an aspiring guide and joined the FFME's National Men's Mountaineering Team selection. At the age of 26, he won the grail: high mountain guide !
Ranking
Hang on, you'll get dizzy... After many ascents, he opens a new route in 2014 on the Siula Grande in Peru with his friends with whom he forms the "Gang of Mustaches". In 2016, he opens a new route on the Nanga Parbat (Himalayas). In 2018, he reached the summit with the "Gang of Mustaches" by receiving the Piolet d'or for their ascent of the South face of Nuptse (7742 m) Everest. We told you that it makes you dizzy!
Collaboration for the development
of the HAWKINS Glacier model.
The Hawkins is the collaboration between Helias and Moken. His wish, to have a 2 in 1 model that can be used in the city as well as in the mountains. Cat. 4 with removable clip. The Hawkins is part of the organic collection, unique to MOKEN!
« ...in the pursuit of the ocean! »
François is the Jules Verne of modern times. He has a thirst for adventure and constantly pushes back the technological and sporting limits. Innovation is at the heart of his project, he is a true adventurer who travels the world on his trimaran. Aren't you tempted? Because we are ! It's for all these reasons that it was obvious that François was part of our team.
François
Gabart
François is a professional sailor and skipper, nothing less! He started with the Optimist, which was initiated thanks to his parents. He has since turned towards trimaran racing and has an impressive track record. His speciality ? Solo sailing. François is a Swiss army knife: in addition to being a navigator and skipper, he is a brilliant engineer and the big boss of Mer Concept.
Ranking
We hope you're hanging in there because it's gonna be a long one. To be quick, François was revealed when he won the Vendée Globe at the age of 29 (a record in this race). He won the 2014 Route du Rhum (IMOCA class), the 2015 Transat Jacques Vabre, the 2016 English Transat and so on. His highlight? His solo round-the-world record in 40 days 16h40 35s. That's 6 days less than the previous record! That's a long way from Jules Verne's 80-day round-the-world trip!
the model worn by François
the SKYFOIL blk bfluo /liquid lens
Francois is the ruler of the ocean. Given the time he spends on the water, it was necessary for François to equip himself with sunglasses designed for sailing. The Skyfoil is equipped with glasses with "Liquid" technology.
« the ocean technician »
Yoann is a technician in his own right. When he talks about sailing, for him it's above all an "engineering thing". Yoann loves precision and technology just as much as we do. Joining forces with him to design a product was an obvious choice.
Yoann
Richomme
Yoann is a professional sailor and is an engineer in naval architecture. In the beginning sailing was a hobby for him. Yoann started competing as a technical prep racer. In 2010 Yoann started competing as a skipper. As you can imagine, he smashed everything! Beyond being a skipper, Yoann is an engineer. Analysing is his strong point, whether it's his competitors or the weather conditions.
Ranking
What reveals Yoann in broad daylight is his place as second rookie on the Figaro Bénéteau circuit. Since then, he has been the winner of the Solitaire du Figaro 2016 and 2019. He took the Route du Rhum again in 2018 (Class40). Want some more? To his credit, he has won several French vice-champion titles in 2013 and 2016. He finished 2nd in the Transat AG2R La Mondiale 2014 and in the Transat Jacques Vabre 2013. Impressive, isn't it?
Collaboration for the development
of the L/QU/D LENS program.
It's thanks to Yoann that Liquid Glass was born. Exposure to the sun and reverberation are not really a good combo for the eyes. We designed glasses especially for sailing. The Rover is equipped with lenses with "Liquid" technology, which ensures optimum comfort for the eye.
« the room par excellence »
Vincent, he's the best local surfer around. What bluffed us was the tricks he does while surfing and the humility he shows out of the water. Duvi is not just anyone, he's a perfectionist! Whether in the Landes or on the other side of the world, he tries to surf the best waves as he can. Impossible not to remember his winter sessions at la Gravière.
Vincent
Duvignac
Duvi was born on a surfboard. Well almost, he started at the age of 6. Since then he has evolved a lot. French champion in the youth category, he joined the French team and won many trophies. He was captain of the French surf team at the China Cup in 2012, isn't that great? Vincent is a wave collector!
Ranking
We're not gonna go into all the details. It would take too long. Vincent won the European Championship title in 2009 and repeated this feat in 2013. In 2016, he won the title of French Champion. In 2017, he became the 2017 ISA World Champion of Nations and the 2017 ISA Relay World Champion. We can no longer count his number of selections for the French team. Well we still counted and the number is 12!
Model worn by Vincent
WOODIE red.wd/gry
Duvi is French elegance: sporty and classy. The Woodie is the model that suits her best because of its design. Designed for the beach, it allows Vincent to protect it from the sun's rays when he is watching the waves before his session.
« The giant tamer »
What do Sancho and Moken have in common? Surfing! But let's face it, you won't find Moken in the water next to Sancho... Waves of 33m aren't for us.On the other hand, we find ourselves on our thirst of adventures and discoveries.
Benjamin
Sanchis
Mini Sancho started surfing with the classic pro circuit, he was champion of France Cadet and participated in several finals of the pro circuit. He has also been selected for the French national team several times. Today, he is a big wave chaser. Constantly looking for monstrous giants, it is possible to meet him at the airport in Morocco, then 3 days later in the water in Tahiti (better than a tour operator).
Ranking
Beyond his record of achievements in his youth, Benjamin's feat was to have ridden in 2014 this famous wave of more than 30 meters high in Nazaré, Portugal. This wave earned him the World Record for the biggest wave ever surfed (and the Wipe-Out of the Year).
Model worn by Benjamin
the WERRIS grn/gld
Sancho is Rock and Roll. Impossible to pass by this biker who rides his electric bike across the beaches of the region to find the best spot. So the Werris was a no-brainer! Rock while being stylish.
