Choose a different line.
Meeting with the surfer
Pierro Coutant
A story of choices, structure and lines built to last.
Pierro didn’t aim to go pro. He aimed to be right.
At Hexa, this approach feels familiar.
There’s always a moment.
The point where a path seems obvious.
Where going faster, further, louder feels like the natural next step.
Pierro knows that moment.
He could have followed the expected line, competition, exposure, results.
But not every line is meant to be chased.
Some are meant to be drawn.
In the image, nothing is happening.
A surfer sitting in the water.
A board.
Time.
That’s where most of Pierro’s surfing lives.
Pierro didn’t aim to go pro.
He aimed to be right.
Right in his decisions.
Right in his practice.
Right in what he builds.
The images tell a quieter story,
of a rider who chose coherence over speed, mastery over display.
He spends more time watching than riding.
Reading sets. Feeling the rhythm.
Knowing when to move, and when not to.
NEW SHAPE.
NEW DESIGN.
Inside the workshop
Pierro rarely talks about design.
He talks about balance.
About where structure is needed and where freedom must remain.
With Hexa, that thinking becomes structural.
The line isn’t only visible on the surface.
It exists inside the board: in the core, in the geometry, in the way energy moves through the material.
Shape
• 3D-printed high-performance polymer core
• Variable-density hexagonal lattice
• Integrated directional reinforcements
• Zone-specific stiffness tuning
Characteristics
• Lightweight architecture with no carbon fiber
• Durable composite resin
• Optimized strength-to-weight ratio
• High longitudinal stiffness
• Strong impact-absorption capacity
Durability
• Protected hollow architecture
• Integrated drainage system
• High compression resistance
• Facilitated workshop repair
On the wave, everything happens fast.
One section. One line. One exit.
How the board engages underfoot,
how stable it feels as speed builds,
how it responds without hesitation.
Those sensations aren’t accidental.
They’re the result of choices made long before entering the water.
“Not every line is meant to be followed. Some are meant to be drawn.”
