our mission is to

Bring surfboard manufacturing back to Australia

Building the world's best surfboards with brilliant people and next level technology

We are Kina

We are the largest epoxy surfboard manufacturer in Australia.

We are not the oldest surf company in the world nor the most well-known. That’s because until now we have sat behind the scenes, manufacturing surfboards in Australia for some of the biggest brands in the world.

Our mission: to bring surfboard manufacturing back to Australia by building the best surfboards
for the world's best brands.

We have two factories located in Tweed Heads, Australia, close to the world famous Kirra and Snapper surf breaks and employ more than 20 talented people. We manufacture more than 4,000 boards a year with advanced manufacturing technology for brands like Channel Islands, Tomo, Chilli, Pyzel, LOST, Onon and more. Every board that we sell through this online channel is built by us. That way we can confidently stand behind the products we sell, giving you the assurance that you are purchasing an Australian made product of the highest quality.

Better surfboards, delivered faster, wherever you surf

The world's best surfboards made locally

We are Kina. We are locals. And of course, we are surfers too.

Building surfboards is traditionally labour intensive, which is why high volume production typically takes place in low labour cost countries. Over the past decade epoxy surfboard production has been steadily moving offshore. Consequently many of the brand name surfboards now sold in Australia are sadly, imported from Thailand, Vietnam and China.

We have developed the world's most advanced surfboard manufacturing technology allowing technically advanced surfboards to be accurately manufactured locally, thus providing a viable competitive alternative to imported products.

Sounds pretty straight forward right? Hmm... well it's taken a pretty talented group of engineers, designers and board builders the better part of a decade to make it a reality.

We are a company that thrives on doing things it shouldn’t. On transforming every aspect of an antiquated manufacturing industry for the better. So that we can make boards that perform better, react faster and last longer whilst investing back into the local ecosystem that produces them. At Kina, we want to wow you every time you surf one of our products. Because it’s in our DNA to build surfboards that inspire you.

At our core we are passionate about innovation in surfboard design and construction. We are dedicated to developing new and innovative surfboard constructions to compliment your favourite surfboard and building it right here in Australia.

We bring our passion for manufacturing and technology to the brands you love and trust.

We are Kina. We are locals. And of course, we are surfers too.
