Why buy local?
Too often interstate companies and large corporations try to cash in on a good thing and spoil it. They continue to force small business out of the market place by mass buying and imitating major brands products and prints, putting another name on them and then selling them as a so called Surf Brand. An example of this is "Mango" at Best n Less and "Jacks" at City Beach, I personally don't think you shouldn't be paying top dollar for it. There is only one place to buy genuine surf quality and that's your locally owned surf shops. Just price match known brands on a regular day and you see that chain surf stores make their money by increasing the RRP by $1 here and there.

You help the environment when you buy local too.
