About Organic Dynamic Factory Store

Project 2017-05-21 22:31:44 +1200

THE PROBLEM

Current materials used to make surfboards are extremeley toxic, carcinogenic, non recyclable and non biodegradable. An average surfboard weighing 3kg will emit 300kg of CO2 in it's lifetime.

THE SOLUTION

Light, strong surfboards made from recycled polystrene packaging, NZ grown timber and plant based resins that are built to last. 

 

WHY ARE WE RAISING MONEY ?

We currently lease space inside a joinery factory, but we would like our own space, With greater production capacity and a small retail store out front. The store will be close to Lyall Bay in Wellington and stock a range of sustainable surfcraft and accesories. We will also have a load of demo boards for people to test out before they order a custom surfboard. And of course coffee.

A more efficient production facility will enable us to provide competitive wholesale prices to selected retailers around NZ, And investment in our own CNC machine will make it possible to provide fully machined blanks to other surfboard manufacturers around NZ, So that you can get a sustainably made custom surfboard from your local shaper. 

 

REWARDS

Trevor the Triumph and Demo board Raffle 

We love this car, And it has served us well on our NZ demo tour. But we also love producing sustainable surfboards so we are going to raffle him off to rasie money for our new facility. Car is a Manual, Comes with current WOF and Rego, 4 New tyres, Roof racks and your choice of demo board from the 7'0" Slinger, 5'8" Whittler or 5'4" Stump. Auction will be held on the 3rd of December at Midday and the car and board will be ready to pickup from Wellington on the 15th, Just in time for your summer holiday. Runner up gets to choose from 1 of the remaining demo boards. 

Limited to 1000 tickets, No limit per person but for multiple entries please pledge multiple times as opposed to pledging a larger amount once. Any questions please call Jack on 0273 150 998. Winner must carry relative driving license.

Updates

    Quick update

    01:56PM Sun 07/01/18 on Organic Dynamic Factory Store

    Hello Pledgers 

    Hope you all had an amazing Christmas and New Years. 

    We had a great break and are looking forward to an exciting year. 

    Air Fresheners, T-Shirts, Wax combs, Tote bags, Leashes, Traction Pads and fins should all have arrived by now (for NZ pledgers). If you ordered one of these and it hasn't shown up yet please contact [email protected], We have spares of everything so if it got lost in the post we will send you another one. Bound to be a few over the Christmas period. 

    Caps are going out tomorrow and the the changing towels will go out later this week, Sourcing organic cotton towelling proved a lot easier than we expected so they are going out a lot sooner than expected.  

    Most of the rewards are now available on our website www.organicdynamic.com. If you missed out head on over here and place your order. All proceeds will still go toward the new factory store and anything we dont sell prior will end up on the shelves. 

    I've started prepping the decks for the first batch of boards and will be working on them more this week. 

     

    Store plans are coming along nicely and we will have more updates for you soon. 

    Thanks again

    Jack

All the profits go to support this great charity that provides assistance and support to surfboard manufacturers who want to produce more environmentally friendly surfboards. They have been an absolute joy to work with and have really helped us out over the years.

    $9k to go!

    08:13AM Thu 23/11/17 on Organic Dynamic Factory Store

    Hello Pledgers! 

    Hope everyones having a great week and enjoying the beautiful weather! Thanks again for all your generous support so far! 

    We have raised almost $21,000 so far and have 6 days left to raise another $9000 to reach our target. Keep in mind the Raffle won't go ahead unless we hit our $30k target. So please check out our other rewards and share the campaign with your friends. 

    I should also mention that whatever we raise on Pledgeme is up for match funding by the Wellington City council, Powershop and BNZ bank who have sponsored the Low Carbon Challenge this year. If your interested in the program there is more info here.

    This money will all go towards a slick production facility that will allow us to make sustainable surfboards faster and more accurate to the CAD files so that we can start collaborating with other surfboard shapers. It will also allow us to make long boards which is a huge market that we havent been able to tap into due to machinery limitations.

    We are currently travelling around the North Island, meeting up with surfers and shapers along the way and offering free demos. The feedback about the feel and performance of the boards has been amazing and we have some awesome footage that we will be releasing very soon. 

    We have a new reward! Its an organic cotton terry towelling hooded changing robe. These are really handy for changing in and out wetsuits and boardies at the beach and available for $120 on the campaign. 

     

     

    Thanks again and good luck to the raffle ticket holders!

    Cheers

    Jack

We are about to head up North, First stop Mt Maunganui on Sunday so please come down if your around.

    If your on the fence about getting a board or need some advice about what board to get feel free to call me anytime and i'll be more than happy to help, My number is 0273 150 998.
