Zhik are excited to announce that the brand is now represented in New Zealand by Simon Hull’s Multihull Ventures, trading as Zhik NZ.

"Simon Hull has a perfect combination of business and sailing skills that will help direct Zhik into an expanded world for water sports“ said Brian Conolly, Managing Director for Zhik. “It’s time for our growing brand to be properly supported through local distribution. Local retailers and consumers will enjoy this change.”

Director of Zhik NZ, Simon Hull comments, “The brand is very well known for its dinghy products, and also its brilliant new range of yachting gear. The apparel is “made for water”, and we are looking forward to getting out and spreading the word into new areas geographically, and into new water sports. It is great to be involved with products we use, know and love in the sailing world, and we look forward to growing our New Zealand presence, working with our established network of stockists, and also through developing new areas.”

Zhik is busy expanding its product offering to include new performance paddling products, and increased Apres on-shore apparel. Taking knowledge gained from the demanding elements in
the sport of sailing, and applying it to other water sports, will see more stores carrying Zhik gear in New Zealand.

“We will take direction from Zhik NZ to help build an international case for a more expanded participation of the Zhik brand in water.” said Brian. “I know Simon has the presence, and energy, to help us develop product to suit New Zealand’s needs, and we look forward to that innovation."
