UWL DESIGN BOOK

Founded in 1991, in La Rochelle, by Renaud and Thomas CARDINAL, UWL is at first a small family business opened during the summer season.

Originally, it was their father’s passion for surfing (one of the first surfers in La Rochelle in the 1970s) and the lack of adapted equipment which pushed them to make their own surfboards and their friends’.

Quickly orders came in and supported by their parents and an unfailing passion for surfing, they quit high school to throw themselves fully into this adventure.

Soon afterwards, they started travelling abroad (California, Hawaii...) to perfect their know-how and network with other professionals.

Production increased year after year, so they built a very important project in 2001: they created one of the largest and most modern surf workshops in Europe.
