End of the Duotone era for Marion and Pierre Mortefon

29/12/2023



After the (surprise) announcement of Marc Paré's departure from Duotone a few days ago, it's the turn of 2 other pillars of the international team to leave for new horizons: Marion and Pierre Mortefon!
The windsurfing industry has not been spared in the current economic crisis
, which is affecting the leisure and sports sectors in particular, and is having to review its plans by making some clear-cut budget cuts.
On December 18, to everyone's surprise, the Duotone brand announced the end of its collaboration with Marc Paré. And on 29 December, Pierre and Marion Mortefon announced that they would no longer be part of the international team in 2024. It was via their social networks that the French windsurfing siblings made official the information that had begun to leak in recent days.
Pierre and Marion Mortefon joined Fanatic and North Sails respectively in 2009 and 2017, with the two brands now merging with Duotone, and are thus turning a major page in their careers. At 34 and 32, both have a solid experience in competition, 3 world titles in slalom (2019 for Pierre, 2021 and 2022 for Marion) and, no doubt, the desire to shine for a few more years on the international scene!
All that remains now is to keep an eye on the days and weeks ahead to find out which new teams Pierre and Marion Mortefon will be racing for next season...
