Stories of the Sea
Back to our roots: ARGIA Collection Video
This video takes us back to the Basque Country — to the landscapes, coastline, and surf culture that first inspired the brand.
Featuring women surfers in their element, it’s a celebration of community, connection, and the timeless beauty of the ocean. There’s something powerful about returning to familiar shores — where the light hits differently, and the roots run deep.
We went back to our roots to capture ARGIA in its most authentic form — honouring where the story began, and the light that continues to guide it.
The Heart Behind Our Brand, a story by professional surfer & founder Laure Mayer

As a passionate surfer, I was on a quest for something that seemed elusive—a surf suit that didn't just look pretty but also hugged our curves in all the right places, offered support where we needed it, and protected us from the fierce Australian sun.

I think the organs readjust or something and then it doesn’t bother you at all. I also push the board a bit deeper with my knee to submerge the board a bit and level it up with my belly so I can distribute the weight better.
Sunset in Biarritz, Basque Country
Here in the Atlantic we sometimes experience big tides. Their immense power shapes the coastal landscape into a transformed ethereal vision.
When those rare days are lined up with a perfect sunset we had to immortalise the moment...
