“The day I met Mele, we were surfing Malibu and it was crowded as usual. In the middle of the lineup, I clearly remember spotting her from a distance. She was impossible not to notice... Her timeless beauty and classic surf style was mesmerizing. She looked like a Polynesian surf queen. Something clicked in that instant, and I thought to myself 'she is exactly who these suits were made for.' I was starry-eyed, and entirely unaware of the immensity of that moment of convergence in our lives: the inspiration we would reserve for one another, and the growth of a friendship and heartfelt memories that would blossom over the years…” -Amanda Chinchelli, Seea CEO & Founder
