2012 Harbour Board swap

Kuch — Sun, 06 May 2012 19:55:15 +0000

The annual Harbour Board swap this year was a great hit. We decided to move the location of the event to the Canvas Shop which is located just north of us on PCH. They allowed us to use their big backyard space which allowed for more boards, people, music and all out fun. We had Cameron and Jim playing some jams, Todd was feeding everyone on his amazing grill, The boys from hinano and destination surf were also on hand to show support. Many boards were sold and lots of stoke filled the air. Until next year!

Thule Racks now at harbour surfboards!

Kuch — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:35:12 +0000

We are proud to announce the arrival of Thule Racks at Harbour Surfboards! Thule is one of the leading rack companies around and we are very excited to be carrying them.

The Thule Brand

The Thule brand was established in Sweden in 1942. Thule is a premium brand used globally for a wide assortment of products with a focus on solving the problem of how to bring equipment with you when using a car (roof racks, bike and water sport carriers, roof boxes). There are also other product areas such as accessories for recreational vehicles, trailers for active life (horses, boats, etc), snow chains and luggage.

Thule is the largest brand in the Thule Group.

With its origins in Sweden, Thule is now a truly global brand

In 1942, Thule was founded by the Thulin family, when Erik Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a Pike Trap that he designed and began selling to the fisherman of Scandinavia. It wasn’t long before he added other practical things to his company’s portfolio. Business boomed, gaining profitably year after year.

By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate its business on car-related products, and before long the first roof rack was born. New product categories were added in the ‘70s and new markets were opened worldwide (e.g. US, Japan).

The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979. It continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions (trailers and rooftop box manufacturing), and Thule has been in growth mode ever since. New markets have been opened, product categories have been launched and several companies have joined.

In 2004, the Thule Group acquired Italian snow chain manufacturer König. An ensuing close collaboration resulted in a series of Thule branded snow chains for passenger cars. A year later, in 2005, RV Accessories company Omnistor was added to the Thule Group portfolio and integrated with Thule.

By acquiring towing systems company Brink in 2006, Thule Group added yet another product range to its portfolio. This integration has resulted in a series of towbars and bike carrier solutions.

Since 2007, Case Logic has been part of Thule Group. As a consequence of the collaboration between Thule and business area Carry Solutions, a range of Thule branded luggage, bags and cases was launched in 2010.

New Surfboard Model Just Released!

Jake — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 17:13:00 +0000

EXTRA! EXRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! We just got in our new model, the “Plantain”! I spent some time talking with Rich about this one and it sounds like he’s done it again.

The “Plantain” is our newest addition to our surfboard production line for 2012! This model is great for those of you that really like to ride the nose, but you don’t want to completely abandon the idea of turning! The ”Plantain” was designed to be a happy medium between maneuverability and stability and falls right between our “Merlin” model and our “Banana” model. It features a 50/50 rail at the front 2/3 of the board and a tucked rail through the back 1/3 of the board for added traction on those slippery waves! A rounded squash tail allows for putting this one on rail with ease! A truly unique ride!

9'6" Plantain

Used San-O For Sale!

Jake — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 17:11:26 +0000

This is a beautiful 9’0″ San-O that we have on the used rack! It has a killer stringer configuration, a nose block, a tail block, and a yellow resin tint on top and bottom. This one would go for right around $1,300.00 new! It’s in great condition and going for only $699.00 right now!

New T-Shirt Design !!!

Kuch — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 04:14:44 +0000

Staff member Shane Bowman really got the ball rolling recently with the new T shirt Design. We have a bunch of old magazine ads in our hallway at harbour surfboards and he decided to put the retro back in our name. The banana surfboard has been in our surfboard line since the break of dawn and we decided it needed to be on the back of a t shirt so we hope you enjoy it and wear it with pride!

New Boards In Stock!

Jake — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:07:45 +0000

9'6" "Banana" model with the classic Rich Chew paint job.

We just got in this killer 9’6″ “Banana” model with the classic Rich Chew paint job! Board #30332. This one is ideal for someone 170-175 pounds who wants a cruiser that will catch waves but won’t sacrifice performance! Works great at Seal Beach, Bolsa Chica, or San-O! $1120 with fin!

This is a 7’6″ Super Revolver that also just came in! Board #30342. This one is ideal for someone 175-180 pounds who likes to ride mid-range boards but can drive the board down the line to get their speed. If you can crank a decent bottom turn or cutback, this one is for you. Sure , it’ll cruise, but if you don’t turn this thing, you aren’t utilizing its’ full potential. Lay it on rail and turn it! Works great for waves up to a couple feet overhead. $700 with fins!
