Assault Boardriding Centre
752
Assault Boardriding Centre (ABC) has been the leading voice of the Mount Maunganui boardriding scene since 1982, making us New Zealand's longest-operating watersports store. We're locally owned and operated by the original owners, and we've grown up with the sports we sell — from surfing, windsurfing, snowboarding and skateboarding through to kiteboarding, stand-up paddle and every kind of foiling.
Our staff and team riders have competed at the top level, and our instructors and sales team offer friendly, down-to-earth advice based on real time on the water. Whether you're buying your first board or fine-tuning a quiver, we'll help you get the right gear.
