PPC Foiling
PPC foiling
PPC Foiling (Pacific Paddle Company) was founded by Sam Loader, a passionate waterman who has been involved in water activities since his childhood in New Zealand. After running a successful surf and SUP company in Sacramento, Sam returned to his native country in 2013, where he began designing Stand Up Paddle boards and opened his first store in Christchurch. In 2016, seeing the growth of foiling, he delved into this new sport and, with his wife Cate, founded PPC and opened a store in Auckland in 2017, focusing on the design and sale of foiling equipment.
A key moment in PPC's history was the introduction of wings, leading Sam to spend months designing the brand's first wing, which received praise from SUP Boarder magazine. Their commitment to quality and performance culminated in the launch of the PPC M1 Wing in 2023, a revolutionary product on the market. Sam ensures that each piece of equipment is strong and durable, conducting extensive testing and selecting materials that prioritize both performance and longevity, reflecting his dedication to delivering an exceptional experience to water sports enthusiasts.
