GoManiac Pickleball: Florida Tour, Product Testing & Rising International Recognition

The past months have been both exciting and pivotal for GoManiac Pickleball. On one side, we took our brand to Florida for a product-testing and retailer tour. On the other, our founder and champion player Michel Roy has been officially recognized among the international rising stars of pickleball. Both milestones are helping shape the future of GoManiac and confirm the strong momentum behind our vision.

Florida Tour: Testing, Feedback & Retailer Meetings

Florida is one of the hottest hubs of pickleball growth, and it proved to be the perfect environment to test our latest products. During our recent tour, we met with retailers, presented new apparel prototypes, and gathered valuable feedback directly from players on the courts.

The testing sessions allowed us to evaluate fabric performance under real playing conditions, ensuring that our collections combine comfort, durability, and style. Retailers were enthusiastic about the unique GoManiac identity and the way our apparel connects to passionate players who want more than just standard sportswear.

These discussions are opening the door for future distribution in the U.S. market—an important step in our international growth.

Michel Roy: From Quebec Champion to International Rising Star

Parallel to the brand’s progress, GoManiac’s own founder, Michel Roy, continues to shine on the courts. Already a recognized champion in Quebec and multiple-time finalist at major tournaments, Michel was recently highlighted in Canadian media as one of pickleball’s international rising stars.

This recognition underlines both his competitive drive and his role as a builder of the sport. Beyond medals, Michel embodies the GoManiac spirit: passion, commitment, and the pursuit of excellence. His journey as a player and entrepreneur reinforces the authenticity of our brand—GoManiac is made by players, for players.

What’s Next for GoManiac

With new prototypes now tested in Florida and international recognition for our founder, GoManiac is entering its next growth phase. Our short-term focus is to:

• Finalize the launch of performance apparel tested during the tour.
• Expand retail partnerships in the U.S. and Canada.
• Continue building a community around the GoManiac identity, connecting champions and passionate players.

The Florida experience and Michel’s international spotlight are more than achievements—they are stepping stones towards our mission: bringing top-quality, player-driven apparel to the fast-growing world of pickleball.

Stay tuned for more updates as GoManiac continues to grow both on and off the courts.
