KAHE COMMITMENT CHARTER
CLEAR BENEFITS COME WITH GREAT RESPONSIBILITY
Facilitating practice and encouraging access to the sea, oceans and bodies of water entails major responsibilities.
At Kahe, we're aware of the fragility of the marine environment, which is why we've chosen to go the whole hog: our electrical solutions are gentle, they don't release hydrocarbons into the water or the air, they don't make noise, they don't disturb the water and its inhabitants, but what's more... We've opted for recycling solutions for our batteries, so that lithium, which is the limiting element, is part of a second life circuit.
ECO-FRIENDLY BATTERY
We work with a highly innovative start-up in the Bordeaux region, in a local circuit. This start-up has enabled us to develop batteries that are ahead of their time. They are not welded like most batteries worldwide. They can be dismantled and repaired, and accept recycled components! The first prototypes of our POD 600 are all equipped with second-life lithium cells!
A VIRTUOUS CYCLE
Our ambition is to create, with other players, a virtuous cycle in which defective or end-of-life lithium cells are collected, recycled and used locally in 2nd life by us and other players who would like to join us in this virtuous spiral.
LEAVE THE PEAK TO OTHERS :)
Kahe boards give you many more possibilities. Thanks to electric assistance, you can surf off the peak, shoulder surf, surf secondary waves. Trust us, you can surf even when conditions aren't top-notch: waves too small, too soft, misplaced. And on the plus side, you're helping to clear the peak!
GET INFORMED
For safe surfing, find out about local regulations, weather, tides and currents before you set off. When you arrive at the spot, don't jump in the water right away. Take your time to observe how and where the waves form and break. If in doubt, ask the locals about surfing conditions.
NEVER LET GO OF YOUR BOARD
Using a leash is compulsory, but even when you're trying to return to the peak, never let go of your board. It could be swept away and seriously injure another surfer behind. If you really have no other option, or if you know you won't be able to hold on to your board, make sure there's no one behind you. If you have to let go of your board, then maybe you shouldn't surf there. Go to an easier spot.
