Hala Gear 2022 SUP Preview
Retail Buyers Guide: SUP 2022 Retail Buyer’s Guide
Brand: Halagear
Interviewee: Victoria Ohegyi, Marketing Director
Is Spring 2022 marking a comeback to a “normal” market? In other words, has production come back to the pre-covid pace, can you provide a decent amount of stock to everyone?
Yes!
A careful attitude with plenty of carryovers has been the go-to choice for a couple years. Will 2022 be the year of innovation for your brand?
We released an updated lineup in 2021 and introduced our Stompbox 2.0 as well as welded seams. We’re carrying over these new innovations for 2022 as we would on any normal lineup run!
How did you build your inflatable range in 2022? And which inflatable technologies are you implementing in 2022?
We always try to offer something for every type of paddler – the whitewater crusher, the river surfer, the ocean paddler, the relaxed lake paddler, the speedy athlete. Currently, we have an 18 board lineup. We are continuing to implement our patented, branded technologies on various boards including our Stompbox retractable fin system, inflatable Carbon Technology, and our DoubleStack technology. In addition, we are also offering welded seams on all of our boards for a burlier SUP.
