Macpac Ltd. Competitors

In 1988, Geoff "Hutch" Hutchison purchased a small surf shop down the back of an alleyway in Victoria St, Hamilton. Having just taken a redundancy from NZ Rail, he decided to follow his passion of surfing and purchased the business named after Backdoor Pipe, a famous surf break on Hawaii's North Shore. After selling just one block of wax on his first day he wondered whether he had done the right thing… Hutch was joined by his brother-in-law, Cameron Cutmore, in 1997 and a second store was opened. The rest is history – now with 18 stores across the North Island plus Nelson, Christchurch and Blenheim Hutch and Cam are still hard at work along with a team of the originals, making sure that everything you see in store and online is true to our authentic roots.

The Sports Authority Limited is a sporting goods company based out of 14 Taylors Rd, Morningside, Auckland, New Zealand.

Andy Tannock opened the first Hunting & Fishing New Zealand store in Palmerston North in 1986. He was quick to join forces with other leading outdoor specialist retailers, starting the growth which now sees 37 great stores throughout New Zealand under the Hunting & Fishing New Zealand banner. The Hunting & Fishing New Zealand team are as passionate about the outdoors as you are - our stores have been described as interesting destinations in themselves for hunters, fishers or any outdoor enthusiast! Our skilled and experienced staff really know what they are talking about, and can help you to make the best purchasing decisions - while our buying power ensures the great value-for-money reputation. Our store owners, who are all passionate outdoors people, take your experiences and their own to search New Zealand and the world to select the product that helps to makes every outdoor experience a great one. Any product we stock has gone through a rigorous selection process by a team of our store owners – we won’t stock anything we won’t use ourselves. This is why we’re now recognised as one of New Zealand's leading authorities for hunting, fishing, camping and tramping information and equipment.
