THE PROBLEM WITH TRADITIONAL BOARD PACKAGING

Tonnes of plastic wrap, hours of packing time — there's a better way

Traditional surfboard packaging uses metres of plastic wrap, takes 15–20 minutes per board, and creates waste that ends up in our oceans. NZ surf shapers and brands deserve better.

  • Single solution fits all board lengths

  • Protects deck, nose, rails and tail

  • Packs in under 6 minutes

  • Completely plastic-free and recyclable

  • No extra tools or machinery needed
