Dane Reynolds signs with Manera wetsuits ending partnership with Buell

Dane Reynolds has signed with the French wetsuit brand Manera, ending his previous sponsorship with Buell. This change raises questions about Buell's current roster, as Reynolds had recently extended his contract with them. Reynolds expressed his support for Manera, highlighting its commitment to surf shops. His previous collaboration with Buell included co-designing wetsuits, starting with the DR1 in 2021. Additionally, fellow surfer Jamie O’Brien was seen wearing a different wetsuit, suggesting potential changes in Buell's sponsorship lineup. The new wetsuit appears to be from Waihana, a brand not yet linked to O’Brien.
