Hoel, engineer at itiwit

"When you come from an island that is 25 km², your relationship with the sea is naturally strong! Lulled by the waves since I was a small child, sailing first made me love the sea, then I became passionate about all watersports. I’ve always had a kayak at home to explore the coasts. I arrived on the continent to study mechanical design engineering, then in sustainable product development. I had the opportunity to have my first professional experiences at OLAIAN, then TRIBORD before meeting the ITIWIT team to develop products and services that meet the needs of kayakers while preserving their environment."

"I’m a product engineer for touring kayaks and boat accessories. As the eco-design manager, I help the team calculate the environmental impact of the products in order to make the best decisions."

"Kayaking is a real means of transport for travelling and escaping on the water. It allows you to be close to the fauna and flora in a way that doesn’t have an equivalent, allowing us to glide along the coast and explore caves. It’s a boat that changes depending on your activity to allow us to surf the waves, paddle down rivers, be physically active and clear your head during a well-deserved break!"
