Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. (OTCBB:BWMG) a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of highly specialized dive and safety products, today announced that it has become a distributor of the robust and highly versatile "Surfer" Paddle Board from California based Imagine Surf. The distributor agreement
Encouraged by the positive experience and reception of the paddle boards being introduced into the new concept store combining diving and paddle boarding and following the strategy and vision of the Brownie's Dive & Paddle store concept, Brownie's has taken it a step further by engaging in distribution of the unique Imagine Surfer paddleboard.
The new Surfer is the ultimate board for anyone just getting into stand up paddling. Wide, stable and easy, it will get you out there and onto the waves "right now" and at an irresistible price point. As good as it is at the beach, the Surfer is great to cruise pristine lakes, and explore backwater bays and inlets. The construction materials and methods make the Surfer ideal for rental and other heavy use applications.
Imagine Surf was founded in 2002 by Olympic kayaker Corran Addison. Imagine first established itself as the go-to brand for wildly innovative, cutting-edge whitewater kayak design. But Corran's passion for surfing drew his creative eye to surf and stand up paddle board design. Since then, innovative designs and superior construction techniques have made Imagine grow from a small, pioneering company into the most prolific stand up paddle board brand in the world. The "Surfer" board is built in the USA using a construction technique unique in the SUP industry that requires substantial upfront engineering and tooling commitments that ultimately provide unprecedented finish quality and cost advantages. www.imaginesurf.com
Standup paddle boarding (SUP for short) is taking the sporting world by storm and is quickly becoming the fastest growing watersport in the U.S. An activity that draws broad appeal among people who love the water, outdoor fitness, and adventure, paddle boarding can be enjoyed by people of every demographic, age, and fitness level. SUP enthusiasts often describe their addiction to the experience as fitness for the mind as well as the body.
"SUP fits well with the clientele that our business model focuses on, the cross over fit is excellent at stimulating interest in water activities and placing our unique dive systems in front of a broader base of the public than that of a traditional Scuba only store.", says Robert Carmichael, CEO of Brownie's Marine Group. "We are also making these paddle boards accessible to dive industry retailers and operators around the country and throughout the Caribbean basin by allowing them entry to the SUP market with minimal start-up investments. The ability to grab a set of snorkeling gear and paddle out to the reef for a day of adventure is a highly efficient alternative and extends access beyond the limited swimming range for most people. We see Brownie diving systems and SUP as naturally synergistic products with a great future".
Interested dealers should contact info@browniesmarinegroup.com for more information.
The first shipment of Surfer paddle boards landed in our main factory warehouse last week and were immediately placed at our new Brownie's Dive & Paddle store in Boca Raton, at Pompano Dive Center, and at Precision Paddle Boards in Fort Lauderdale. Other dealers are being invited to join the trend now.
