He’enalu surf shop in Carcans
Heʻenalu is an ancient Hawaiian sport that gave rise to modern surfing... In Polynesian, it means “to glide on the wave and become one with it.” In Polynesian culture, the ocean is an emotion, much like the human being... It embodies values of sharing, respect, and camaraderie that we wish to keep at the heart of our approach.
With over 20 years of experience and several decades of surfing under our belts, the HE’ENALU Team wants to share our expertise as passionate surfers with one goal in mind… to stay attuned to your feelings so we can give you the best possible advice!
