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!

Hi Mark,
I think they might have a few, but if you don’t come right head to Surfboard Warehouse on Orange Street. Here are the store details: http://capetownsurfer.com/surf-shops/surfboard-warehouse/
