With the sport expanding at a rapid pace, the future prospects are nothing shy of phenomenal!

Quipmoâs founder and CEO Chris Evans said: âWeâre absolutely over the moon to be partnering with a truly world class organisation who are driving bodyboarding to the forefront of action sports globally and who are have great ambition to open new markets. Weâre equally stoked to be working with people who are just as passionate about adventure and the water as we are.

âWeâre stoked to be able to partner with Quipmo on an incredible concept. I honestly canât see this not working at all â itâs a no brainer idea and will take off! We are super stoked to be part of it especially at ground level.â said Alex Leon CEO ABP World Tour.
Deloitte Access Economics estimates that the collaborative economy already makes up around 1-2% of the retail goods market in Australia . Given that on average 8 million different Australians interact with eBay on a monthly basis , and with Time Magazineâs recent findings that 70% of Americans have directly participated in the share economy , itâs not hard to imagine the potential impact of this partnership in Australia and abroad.
âHelping people have small adventures more frequently by giving them access to great gear all around the world is incredibly exciting. Everyone smiles when theyâre doing something they enjoy â through this partnership we hope to make those adventures a whole lot easier.â Evans said.
