Surfers often claim a mystical aspect in their relationship with the ocean. They got the blues, so to speak, which connects them to this powerful yet fragile driving force. Surf world champion Kauli Vaast will represent France at the Olympics on the turquoise Teahupo’o wave where he grew up. Brought up in a protected tropical paradise, it’s hardly surprising that Kauli Vaast has found his calling in the ocean spray. After catching the biggest wave ever surfed in Tahiti in 2021, he is now aiming for a gold medal with a Panerai watch on his wrist. Now a friend of the brand, it’s only logical that he has his heart set on a Submersible.
