About Us

Situated in the SW of France, Commune Des Vagues was born out of a love for surfing, design and creativity.

The brand name which loosely translates into A Community of Waves came to the founder, Ronnie Reyes during a dinner conversation with friends in Guethary, France in 2015 while discussing the diversity of the group of people present at that moment. People from different parts of the world, with different backgrounds, converging at that moment without a plan for the sole purpose of chasing waves. We were "une communauté des vagues". 

From that moment it became clear that creating a brand based around the idea of community and connectivity would be an excellent platform to explore ideas and approach each project from a place of wonder. 

Commune Des Vagues is a surf brand, which is why our first products to make are boardshorts. Our design intent is to make boardshorts that focus on quality, style, durability, and eco-conscious production practices.

We intend to take our time and grow the brand at a pace that is realistic for ourselves and for the environment. 

Our mantra is to Make Only What Is Necessary. 

Starting a brand is an almost guaranteed closeout, but if you get a nice vision for just a moment, then it is worth the effort.

Surf Forever.
