About

Welcome to Whangamata pedal & Paddle, the home of outdoor adventure in the Coromandel.

Story

Peddle and Paddle is a local bussiness based in Whangamata, NZ. Owner, Chris Coombe, runs the business all year round with a handful of helpful and friendly staff to provide a reliable, and good quality service to the active locals and holidays makers of the area.

Our team:

Chris- Owner: Chris Coombe, known around Whangamata to be the man that can fix anything and everything, as he has a wide and vast knowledge of all outdoor activities and equipment. With over 20 years of experience in multi-sports and cycling, Chris really knows what's he talking about, so if you have got questions he's the one to ask... but be wary, he's a busy man.

Julie- The Boss: Coming from a corporate background Julie is over looks a large amount of events that run from the store such as ladies weekends and corporate weekends.

Zac- The Mascot: Our resident mascot 95 years old in human years (15 dog years) you'll find him pottering round the store, or causing havoc lying in the middle of the pathway. He maybe an old guy now, but Zac still loves roaming round the beach each morning checking out the babes. The place wouldn't be complete without him.

Bruce- The Looks: Having been in the surfing business for over 20 years, Bruce originally had his own surf brand in Taranaki. An expert on the mechanics and build of surf boards he's the one with the know when it comes to the technicalities of surfing and the water activity.

Noods- The Pom: Every good store needs a Pom to keeps things in order and for 2 summers now we have Noods. Head of I.T and admin, Noods makes sure the everything is running smoothly on the floor.


Karlos- The SUP Expert: Stand Up Paddle Boarding is our newest addition to the store here in Whangamata and so is Karlos. Sponsored by one of our SUP Suppliers (Luke Short Designs), Karlos is the guy if you need lessons, tours, or knowledge when it comes to Stand Up Paddle Boarding, just be wary that if the surf is good Karlos is hard to find.
