I would appreciate all Seabreezers comments on this frustrating problem we have with our sport.

We are in the final process of solving this problem and are starting a company called Ocean Sports Freight .Will email details once website is up and running.

With my passion for the sport and the ocean ,and my mates 14yrs + experiences in the freight bussiness and contacts around the world has allowed us to join forces and open up 2 offices one in Sydney ,Brisbane and soon one in Hawaii.

We are not just covering SUP's , but all watersports and can Import/Export 1 board to 100+ boards from anywhere in the world to any port in Australia.We offer a Door to Door service which includes Delivery, customs ,duties and insurance so you are only dealing with one company.

We also want to take the hassle out of competing overseas ,and worring about finding a board .We can have your board or boards delivered from your doorstep right to your hotel door ,so all you have to worry about is competing!
We see this as a big advantage as the sport is only going to get bigger and we all want to challenge ourselves.How much easier it would be turning upto the Maui to Molokai ,Battle of the Paddle or anyother watersport competition knowing that the board you have trained on is the one you will race on!

Thanks for any feedback ,positive/negitive and I hope we can provide a hassle free service to benefit us all.

I will be at this yr's Mambo ,if anyone wants to discuss this further.

Cheers

Good luck Craig. What about East Timor? One 10'5"to Dili from NSW.

Cheers guys thanks for the support .

If you can pm me with a bit more detail ,I'll see what we can come up with. The only problem is cost as the area you are going into is isolated.

Cheers

I have a mate who now lives on Maui and has a race board in my shop that he wants to ship back so i'll send him your details and maybe you can help him out.

this is a great idea and even better business ,i wish you all the best as i have competed all over the world in the last 25 years and spent $1000's on freight and repairs from freight .If you can reduce the damage we get ,your on a winning and you got my business LAHUIKAI paddleboards. We are sending boards now to many countries for customers and races .aloha

Sounds great.. Jonathan has a new 14' race board in Hawaii that he would love to bring back.

Your obviously talking air freight boylos, can you give us a quick run-down on costs
say Indo and Hawaii ? and how far in advance does the board need to travel ?

Great idea and I wish you all the very best.

We can do air freight ,but you have to realise the cost is a lot higher due to beinging a faster service.For example approx 5 day turn around from the USA .
We are targeting the sea freight side for a more cheaper service . example approx 55 day turn around via ship USA.
It's a bit hard to give you quotes for Indo /Hawaii as there's alot involved ,so just pm and I'll look into it for you.

We are over whelm with the responses and best wishes .....much appreciated

Cheers

The total weight for our group when we went to PNG was 500kg (10 people 14 boards) the Sups were a nightmare , when we do it again for the next movie we want to send the boards first.Can you also organise storage?
