Olivier Boileau lines up the brand’s vision for the future.
As you may already know, Wildsuits stands as a strong ally to bodyboarding enthusiasts, not only within Portugal but on a global scale. Renowned for its wetsuits, Wildsuits has established a strong and enduring connection with the sport of bodyboarding since its beginning in 2016.
Throughout its journey, Wildsuits has proudly lent support to influential figures in our discipline. Notable names such as Isabela Sousa, Tristan Roberts, Sócrates Santana, Lionel Medina, and Portugal’s own such as António Saraiva, Miguel Coelho, and Steph Kokorelis have been pivotal in fostering both the brand’s growth and the advancement of the sport.

In a recent discussion with Olivier Boileau, the passionate founder of Wildsuits and a dedicated bodyboarder himself, we gained deeper insights into the brand’s vision for the future of bodyboarding.
At Wildsuits, bodyboarding holds an important position, with the brand committed to sponsoring a diverse array of talent. From accomplished athletes gracing podiums to revered free surfers, Wildsuits’ ethos revolves around embracing the essence of bodyboarding. While the brand has been expanding its horizons into surfing, it remains resolutely devoted to the foundational values ingrained by bodyboarding.
A key focal point for Wildsuits is nurturing the national Portuguese bodyboarding scene, extending support to athletes such as Simão Monteiro, Miguel Adão, Hugo Macatrão, and Pedro Bettencourt. These athletes not only serve as ambassadors for the brand on a national level but also shine on the international stage, benefiting from Wildsuits’ financial backing to propel the sport forward.
