www.exileskimboards.com - Exile Skimboards are not imported into New Zealand as far as I know. They are generally expensive but a very decent brand. If you're planning to buy from overseas and get it shipped, then check out their boards at this website.
Maui Skimmers
www.mauiskimmers.com - Maui Skimboards are pretty decent, but an aquired taste. These boards are made in Hawaii (Maui) and have a slightly thicker structure with more rocker. These boards have a lot of control but can slow down a lot faster due to the rocker. These boards, as far as I know, are not sold in New Zealand.
