Protect Your Boards and the Ocean: Upgrade Surfboard Packing for a Safer, Cleaner Coast
For surfboard shapers, retailers, and eco-conscious designers, every board is more than just equipment - it’s a symbol of commitment to surf culture and the ocean itself. But protecting your boards efficiently without relying on plastic bubble wrap has long been a challenge for the New Zealand surf industry.
Packaging Should Live Up to Surf Values
Traditional methods like bubble wrap are time-consuming and inconsistent. Worse, they contribute to costly courier damages, leave behind piles of single-use plastic, and undermine the ocean-conscious values that define modern surf business. When every packing session feels like a race against the clock- especially with pre-dawn courier runs or pre-comp shipments - retailers need solutions that keep both boards and beaches safer.
Flexi-Hex: Built for Board Builders, Trusted by the Ocean
Flexi-Hex surf sleeves, distributed by Woodhill Distribution, are designed by surfers for surfers. Made from recycled paper, they expand to cradle boards snugly, offering impact protection from rails to nose - no finicky, inches-thick bubble required. Unlike plastic wrap, Flexi-Hex is curb side recyclable, ocean-safe, and engineered to reduce transit damage while saving packing time.
Key benefits for surf businesses:
• Drastic reduction in courier breakages and claims per shipment
• Packing time cut from 15–20 minutes to a few fast, satisfying steps
• Space savings in your storeroom - sleeves stack compactly, freeing up valuable square metres
• Strong sustainability story to share with customers: “Protect your boards and the ocean”

Surf Faster - Ship Smarter - Protect More
For the next generation of surf retailers and shapers, sustainable packaging is about more than brand alignment - it’s about stewardship of the ocean playground that inspires everything you do. Visual demos, packaging comparisons, and behind-the-scenes packing content show how your commitment to cleaner seas starts the moment a board leaves your shop.
