About Export Gold
Export Gold is stoked to be a major sponsor of Surfing New Zealand. Keep an eye out over the summer for the Export Gold Series - five event series that's got the best surfers in New Zealand competing at New Zealand's best surf beaches. Bobby Hansen, the highest ranked Kiwi on the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) chart is as stoked as we are that Export's onboard. "It is really good to have an iconic Kiwi brand in behind surfing. This kind of support helps the sport reach the masses and gets surfing into the media. The increased publicity surfing receives is good for everyone involved in the sport."Bobby is a Gisborne local and is looking forward to competing in his hometown alongside other great NZ surfers like Maz Quinn. "I really enjoy being at home, competing in good fun waves along with my mates and all the top surfers in New Zealand"
