Aamion

Roles: Founder

Aamion, founder of Slow Yourself Down, is a passionate advocate for intentional living and sustainability. Born and raised on Kaua'i and Fiji, his global travels and deep connection to nature have shaped his vision for the brand.

Aamion grew up in Hā‘ena, Kauaʻi, on the North Shore, where the beach and ocean were part of daily life. He began surfing at about age 10, and as he matured, developed a style grounded in flow, rhythm, and connection to the waves. Over time he rose into the professional surf world, earning recognition especially for his performances at Pipeline and in the ocean environments of Hawaiʻi.

Aamion has always been drawn to a life of exploration and connection with nature. Growing up on the island of Kaua'i and Fiji, his upbringing was rooted in the land and sea, where the values of simplicity, mindfulness, and respect for the environment were deeply ingrained in him. These early experiences fostered a passion for living authentically, which ultimately led to the creation of Slow Yourself Down, a brand that embodies the ethos of intentional living and sustainability.

Aamion's journey took him around the world, where he spent years traveling and immersing himself in different cultures. From the remote beaches of Indonesia to the bustling cities of Europe, he gathered inspiration from the diverse ways people connected with nature and lived in harmony with their surroundings. This global perspective has played a key role in shaping Slow Yourself Down's commitment to ethical manufacturing and using materials like organic cotton that are gentle on the planet.

With a deep love for his home in Kaua'i, Aamion has always felt a strong responsibility to give back to the community that raised him. Slow Yourself Down is a reflection of that connection, as it not only supports sustainable fashion but also celebrates the beauty of Kaua'i through its designs. Each piece is crafted with care and respect for the environment, aiming to inspire others to slow down, live with intention, and appreciate the simple moments in life.
