About Surf Series SUP brand:
Surf Series is an international SUP brand that is PROUDLY MADE IN NZ in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility utilising Kiwi technology. The boards are exported, sold and paddled around the world!
Surf Series Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUP) are the best value in entry-level boards available. We spend a lot of time stand up paddling ourselves and designed the 11' SUP to provide as much stability and user friendliness possible.
The 11' is a proven shape that paddles great, very stable and gives excellent glide. Ideal for cruising, touring, fitness training, small wave riding and having fun!
Surf Series boards are designed and manufactured using the latest precision moulding technology right here in NZ - for a refreshing change! The impact resistance and robustness to wear of high a density polyethylene skin bonded to a light foam core is amazing! This strength and versatility means you don't have to worry about damaging it and going through the hassle of expensive ding repairs - no matter how much abuse you throw at it - it'll stand up to it! Full 1 year warranty comes as standard.
Stand Up Paddle Boarding is taking the water sports world by storm. SUP is the easiest water sport to master and NZ is the perfect environment for this dynamic and versatile sport!...But the average price for a SUP in NZ is $2,000...plus a paddle!!! We think those prices are just crazy and we want to promote SUP as a fun family beach sport to everyone - at a sensible price! Boardzone has worked hard to offer Surf Series at a break through price that opens the sport of SUP to everybody! We can do this by manufacturing in NZ, keeping our costs down, selling direct to you and deploying Kiwi technology, innovation and technical skills.
Surf Series is the only mass produced SUP brand made in NZ that exports boards for the global market - going against the trend of cheap manufacturing in Asia by deploying Kiwi precision moulding technology skills rather than cheap labour. The NZ market is now being swamped with a lot of cheap generic un-branded epoxy and PU boards that are made in China or Vietnam that just have sticker slapped on them...and suddenly they become a "SUP brand"!? Nothing wrong with that (NZ is a free market in a globalised world and has a free trade agreement with China) - but Surf Series is a real brand that is supported by the brand owners who are global water sports equipment industry leaders. The Surf Series is brand sold around the world via their international distribution network. So with a Surf Series SUP you are getting a brand that is into the sport for the long haul - not just a quick buck - and the Surf Series brand has invested heavily in NZ manufacturing technology and skills - so you are getting a NZ made SUP product that is also paddled around the world! Sweeet Bro!
