Hi Jason. It does seem great prices are the norm at surf zone, but I’ve also heard Gigs moan about not being profitable. I’m not sure if it’s part of their strategy or they feel they need to push discount as a means to drive sales.

I stand to be corrected but I think the owner of Built surfboards (who also are the licensed manufacturer of Lost… boards) is a partner in the Surf Zone business. This would imagine this is why Built Boards are being pushed with discounts.

My final thoughts are the shop has been around and peddling discounts as a draw card since I can remember, so it should be safe to say they should continue to be in business – I hope.

Hi There!!

I am a concerned customer!!!came into surf zone the other day and was offered assistance from john.without having asked for a discount he offered me a deal that was great but a bit dodge!a brand new bilt surf board,leash,pad and board bag for R2000!great deal but surely you dont profit much if at all on that!!!spoke to a friend of mine and he said that he also got offered a similar deal but was also offered half price on a wetsuit!!!just concerned that if u guys arent making profit that 1 of my fav spots will be over!

My brother Anwer Hoosain drowned at this beach on boxing day 2011, There were no lifeguards present and his children were saved by a surfer named Tanika Hoffman.

A no-swimming sign should be displayed on this beach

Hey Max, I found the solution platinum a little cold actually. Very flexible but not that warm. I am using a brand new Hurley suit at the moment, it’s amazing.

If I were you I would bring your Zero suit and donate it to the boys down at Muizenburg beach, then go to a surf shop and try on a few suits. Buying online is a bit risky in my opinion.

Hi…
Great to see that you got a replacement…I would like to know what you think of the solution platinum? I can get one at a great price. I have only used zero wetsuits and its time for a change. I’m staying in Germany due to my studies and need a suit wenn i get back home to Cape Town. Is buying a wetsuit from an online store nonsense???

Do you realize that this makes you ‘Cape Town Supper’? I think that’s funny.

Cool website bra! I am at Muizenberg often teaching surfing and may need a water photographer from time to time, as will be offering this service to my students in the near future. Can we connect to discuss sometime. What is your email address? thanks, Grant Byram.
