HOW IT ALL BEGAN
I couldn't find any cold bath that I could put in my home that was both practical and aesthetic. It was the end of 2021, I was returning from 4 years in Vietnam. I had discovered the cold baths there in preparation for MMA fights and I loved what it had done for my mind and my well-being in general. (I'm on the left).
BUILDING A PROTOTYPE
In Vietnam, my profession was naval architect, as I've always been passionate about sailboats. There, I designed and built sailing catamarans for the international market. Sports and health are particular areas of interest for me.
Leveraging my experiences and skills, I decided to venture into designing a cold plunge bath. After months of developing a prototype in my garage, Rocean was born - an aesthetically pleasing, reliable, and enjoyable cold plunge bath.
Cold plunge baths presented an incredible opportunity for me to leverage my passions in a rapidly growing market where the quality of offerings was lacking. I realized that I could bring a lot of value to a product that makes a meaningful difference.
A PARTNERSHIP
In November 2023, I was able to validate the prototype and concept thanks to CrossFit top athlete Guillaume Briant, who uses it daily in his performance routine. An alignment of values and our life goals led us to become partners, and we decided to combine our strengths for the development of the Rocean brand.
