Once a waterman, always a waterman. A love for the ocean has been ingrained in my DNA since childhood when I was raised to respect and cherish the environment in which I played. Over the years, this simple joy instinctively transformed into a strive for performance, racing OC across the globe. Like my paddling community, the saltwater immersion and thrill of competition became a healthy obsession, culminating in the creation of an apparel company dedicated to serving fellow watermen with purpose-built gear designed to break through boundaries.

MARGEN = MARine + GENeration

MARGEN stands for Marine Generation - a new wave of passionate watermen and waterwomen who push human limits in adventure-fuelled ocean pursuits. This generation lives for salty sessions, on-the-edge moments, and the waterlogged satisfaction earned after a long day chasing waves or paddling open waters. Flowing deep in the undercurrent also lies an innate connection to the ocean and a motivation to protect it for future generations to enjoy. The ocean provides for us, and we provide for the ocean, it is our responsibility.

The MARGEN logo incorporates the three natural elements that watermen universally study, respect, and experience in raw oceanic environments: waves, winds, and currents. These worldwide geophysical forces are fundamental to powering water sports and can transform an ordinary day into an extraordinary one.

Our MARGEN values embody who we are and what we stand for as a modern-day ocean apparel supplier. They help guide our decisions regarding production, performance, environmental protection and the overall stoke-factor we can add to the lives of seasoned watermen right down to up-and-coming grommets.
