About Us
Welcome to Hyper Ride – New Zealand's ultimate destination for adrenaline-fueled action sports! Since our launch in 2008, we've been all about fueling your passion for surf, skate, wake, snow, motocross, mountain biking, and beyond. As a proudly Kiwi-owned and operated company based in Auckland, we're dedicated to bringing you the best gear, apparel, and accessories from over 170 trusted global brands – all under one roof (or should we say, one website?).
Our Story
It all started at Labour Weekend in 2007, when co-founders working in a small store in Otahuhu, Auckland, spotted a massive opportunity: Kiwis love their action sports, but finding everything they need in one place was a challenge. In February 2008, they launched Hyper Ride as an online retailer focused initially on surf, skate, snow, and wake gear to change that. What began as a humble setup has exploded into New Zealand's No.1 action sports hub. In 2016, we expanded our range to include bike and moto, and the growth since has been amazing – with over 100,000 products available and a warehouse in Penrose that's buzzing with the latest drops. From those early days of spotting gaps in the market to now serving thousands of riders, shredders, and wave chasers across the country, our growth has been powered by one thing: pure stoke for the sports we love.
What Drives Us
At Hyper Ride, our mission is simple: Equip you to push limits and chase epic moments, whether you're carving up the Coromandel surf, bombing trails in Rotorua, or hitting the jumps at the many ski fields of NZ. We're also growing our outdoor category, because any good action sports man or woman loves a mission! Where the range of sports ends... who knows? We're not just sellers of gear – we're fellow enthusiasts who get the thrill of the ride. As we love following the latest trends, nowadays even pro riders unwind by playing golf and fishing in their down time. That's why we stock everything from wetsuits and spring suits to motocross jersey-pant combos, snow outerwear, skate decks, and MTB accessories – we've turned over every rock to source the latest and greatest in action sports gear, delivered right to your mobile phone or desktop PC. We're constantly pushing the boundaries of ecommerce, offering free returns, same-day delivery in Auckland, and as a recent addition, we can deliver to you anywhere in Auckland in just 2 hours! Plus, with FREE SHIP FRIDAY on everything except bulky items like surfboards and hassle-free returns, we've got your back so you can focus on the fun.
We believe in quality that lasts, brands you trust, and a shopping experience that's as smooth as a perfect bottom turn. To keep up with us, sign up for our world-famous Daily Stoke emails, featuring the latest and greatest, giveaways, plus deals you won't want to miss!

Meet the Team
Behind the screens (and in the warehouse) is a crew of action sports die-hards. From Richard and Simon's vision to our passionate pickers, packers, and product gurus, we're all about that shared love for the grind. We're based right here in Auckland, keeping things local while sourcing the global goods that keep NZ's action scene thriving.
Our team embodies the spirit of Hyper Ride – a mix of seasoned pros and eager newcomers who live and breathe these sports every day. We might not be paid by the big brands to ride, but in any spare moment away from work, you'll find us in the waves, on the mountain, in the parks, or on the tracks. We won't even win a world championship for skill, but we might for the love of all sports!
