Naish Goes Mauritius: The Reality of a Product Shoot
After previous team adventures at popular water sports destinations such as Tarifa and Brazil, it was time to level up. This time, we packed our bags and headed to Mauritius, an island that’s as dreamy as it is raw. Think steady wind, perfect waves, and a relaxed island vibe. Ideal for a product shoot? Definitely. Easy? Not quite.
We linked up with local hero and Naish rider Louka Pitot and team riders Catharina Edin, Sofia Marchetti, Austin Kalama, and Tim Walsh to put our new gear to the test. The goal? Capture the real essence of Naish in action in some of the world’s most beautiful and challenging conditions.
The week delivered everything: clear skies, pumping wind, and the kind of conditions that make your heart race. From the crystal waters around Flat Island to the legendary waves of One Eye, every spot challenged us in a different way. And through it all, the cameras kept rolling... Chasing wipeouts, big landings, and those unexpected magic moments.
But this shoot wasn’t just about getting the shot, it was about what happens in between: the teamwork, the crashes, the laughs, the high-fives after sticking something new. At Naish, team is about showing up for each other, pushing limits together, and making the most out of every session.
So, if you want a peek behind the scenes... Watch the full video below, and join us for a journey of adventure, friendship, and the love of the sport.
