Aqwa-D NZ
Aqwa-D NZ - We are the dealer for Allwave Waka Ama, Dragon Boats and Skis.We started producing our AMA Racks in 2018 and sold them to all our mates in Sydney because they were born by pure need for something to help us carry our ama safely. Before we knew it people wanted them in other states and then NZ and now we are sold throughout the US, Europe and growing! All of our products we produce are items that we use ourselves or that which we need. As paddlers of most water groups we believe we are here for and understand the paddlers.
Recently we signed with Allwave to import their excellent Waka Ama, Dragon Boat training boats and Ocean Skis. These are all in stock and we are taking orders for a container now.
Please contact Steve if you would like a demo. He is based in Auckland but is always looking for somewhere new to paddle.

Soil & Sand Clothing
We are just a couple of Kiwi’s from Northland here in Aotearoa chasing our dreams.We started to brain storm what to call our clothing brand. As husband and wife we wanted something different but unique to us. We wanted it to be about home, connections to our people, land and sea.
I was brought up on a farm and my husband was brought up on the coast. I am the ‘Soil’ and he is the ‘Sand’.
Soil & Sand was established early 2016, since then we have sold garments out of our vehicle, our home, markets, festivals and pop up stalls at beaches. It has been a wonderful journey and can’t wait to see what the furture holds for us.
We are bringing a fresh new twist on clothing with maori infused prints, bright colours and originality. We design and print all our own clothing, we come up with what we would like to wear and represent.
Soil & Sand is our whakapapa, connections to our people, land and sea. We love being home on our Soil & Sand.
