About

Beginnings

From the humble beginnings of a small operation in a very small Gisborne shed we've come a long way since 1969. For NZ surfing legend Benny Hutchings, Sonic was born out of a desire to be able to go surfing when the waves were good and to "live life his way" Since these early days, Sonic has evolved into one of the largest Surf Craft companies in the world designing and manufacturing equipment used in the ocean for paddlers and athletes the world over.

Sonic Ambassadors

From the Sonic staff working in our Gisborne factory designing and manufacturing ocean going equipment to the athletes and paddlers we sponsor all over the world. We have the perfect mix of youth and experience to keep us at the forefront of design and manufacture in the water sports industry.
