Who are Hebri Boards?
David
Creator and Builder
David grew up working for his family furniture business and always loved creating things out of wood. When he isn’t finding broken things to fix, he loves throwing himself in the waves and finding ways to go faster in the surf.
Claire
Marketing and Customer Care
Claire grew up in a family of water lovers, spending most summers boogie boarding in Cornwall. Other than being in the water, writing and chatting to like minded people is her happy place.
Max
Inspiration and Sales
Like most teens, Max loves all things electronic, but can always be drawn away by the promise of some time in the water. Future sales whizz, he is already brainstorming the idea of throwing in a free doughnut with every sale!
How it started…how its going.
In 2015 we were offered the chance to go and live on the Isle of Tiree in Scotland. Tiree is a mecca for watersports and after trashing yet another polystyrene boogie board, David began to mull the idea of a wooden bellyboard.
After a bit of trial and error David came up with the first Hebri Board. The boards were brilliant and our customers loved them. Then the world turned upside down, materials became hard to source from a tiny island and we had to put the business on the backburner.
We arrived back into NZ just in time for another lockdown and realised that now more than ever there is a desperate need for something simple, sustainable and fun.
With the right care your Hebri Board can survive for many years and bring a whole lot of fun.
