GSI was founded in June 2002. After decades of cottage industry-style operations, the time for a better way of supplying surfboards to the international surfing market had well and truly arrived.

Today, GSI has a portfolio of 11 brands. We remain very deliberate and strategic in our brand and model selection. Each caters for a particular type of surfer with a specific level of surfing ability. Whether you are a first-day novice, a beginner, an intermediate, an advanced or elite-level surfer, GSI aims to have the brand and model that is right for you.
