I live in Port Fairy, VIC and needless to say we don't have many places, not counting Keith from GO Surf, to sample SUP products. Since I travel to the "Big Smoke" on occasion, I was wondering where are the best stores to check out? Looking online is great for something's but I like to get a feel for certain things eg paddle
And on the way check out Strapper (Torquay) for a few products and Core in Geelong (Newtown I think) Patagonia (Torquay) have a few items which I know they're trying to clear at very good prices also tell them Mick sent you. Means nothing but sounds good
Of course Core is on your way from Port Fairy located at 9 Fernleigh St Newtown (Geelong) so you can avoid going all the way to the Big Smoke as we have everything you could need right here..... Largest and only dedicated Stand Up Paddle Retailer on the Surf Coast specialising in Fanatic Starboard Naish NSP and Quatro SUP Brands with 40 - 60 Boards in Stock at any time.
Also check out our Demo dates coming up....
Starboard - 11th Oct at Torquay Fanatic - 25th Oct at Barwon Heads Naish - 15th Nov At Eastern Beach
I know what you mean living 45mins further to the West from you.
+1 for Dave at Core for most of what you would need and also Alex at Stonker in Torquay for customs. Both provide great service. SHQ have always been helpful if you want to travel the extra 1 - 1.5hrs. Have heard great things about Zu too.
