SportsKnack aims to solve the airlines/surfboard bags crisis
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 26 August, 2008 : - - As traveling with a surfboard became a mission impossible, an innovative service was launched last June 3rd. SportsKnack.com was in part created to soothe the pain of fellow surfers traveling to the west coast, enabling them to surf California's Swells with a variety of more that 100 top notch surfboards.
The other part of this service offering is to let surfers ride the best surfboards out there, and rent them to test ride before they buy, these are the kind of boards you would not usually find for rent anywhere else.
Ranging from the sleek Firewires, Kaysen, Keahana, Al Merrick, Surf Prescriptions, Surftech, Aviso Carbon Fiber ($1,200.00) to Laird Paddle Boards ($1,500.00), and at least a dozen more from famous manufacturers and local shapers. Think of it as a Demo ClubTM.With its innovative online reservation system, SurFanatics are able to view each board front and back, reserve the surfboard of their preference and pick it up at several locations. Every board you rent is prepped with leash, track pad, clear grip and sock; members don't even need to worry about wax!
“Sports Knack has eliminated the hassle of flying in my board. Not only I can find it online and reserve it, but maybe try different ones in order to get the best out of the different swells. It's like traveling with more than 30 boards...” says Daniel Sheinfeld from Kona, HI.
