ABOUT US
Flow & Grace is a family run business, aimed at providing high quality surf products. We are longboard enthusiasts, so our stock is heavily inspired by this.
Nat Fitt
Nat is Flow and Grace’s first brand ambassador, and we are stoked about it! Nat is riding Thomas Surfboards, and loves them. Here’s what he has to say:
Kia ora,
My name is Nat Fitt. I’m 19 years old and I am from Red Beach, Auckland.
My first memory of surfing would go back as far as when my dad would push me into waves on the front of his log as a little 3 year old.
Growing up in the area of Red Beach, we very rarely get swell. This leads me to froth over the littlest of waves and was the reason I eventually developed a passion for longboarding. It only needs to be knee high to find me out there.
I really enjoy riding the right boards to suit the conditions. Being able to have fun in all conditions is super important to me and would be the leading reason as to why I continue to ride longboards today. However I enjoying pushing the little boards around in the bigger stuff equally as much.
I’m recent years I’ve been lucky enough to do a bit of competing and had a few special results with my surfing. I’ve managed to make two finals at the Single Fin Mingle and have 3 NZ Under 18 Longboard titles.
Last year in 2023 I had a crack at the World Surf League Longboard Qualifying Series in Noosa but unfortunately the stars didn’t quite align for me at the time. Would love to have another crack at that sometime in the future.
As much as I like competing, I think the community around longboarding is what keeps me coming back. It’s always a great time sharing waves and words with like minded people in a fun environment. Especially if we get to travel around to do so.
I’m super stoked to be working with the crew at Flow and Grace and am very grateful for the opportunity.
Cheers, Nat
Hannah Kohn
We are so stoked to welcome Hannah to the Flow and Grace faimily. A true ambassador of surfing and an amazing human! Hannah is riding Thomas Surfboards and wearing Atmosea.
Here’s a bit more about Hannah, in her own words.
I was lucky enough to grow up at Wainui Beach, Gisborne, where my earliest surf memories involve tagging along behind my dad and brother, getting pushed into waves on Dad’s old mal. I was hooked from the get-go, and it wasn’t long before I followed my brother onto a thruster. Like most groms (and plenty of adults) surrounded by the quality of waves we have in Gisborne, I had my blinders on to anything else. That lasted until my early twenties, when I finally discovered the magic of alternative crafts, and from there I started mixing it up with singles, twinnies, and logs. I haven’t looked back. These days, my thruster still makes the occasional appearance, but for the most part it just gathers dust in the shed. I now ride boards to suit the conditions and my surfing and almost never get the frustration that came with three-fin wafers!
I’ve been lucky to pick up a few results on a longboard – a couple I’ll always remember, and ones I reckon even my thruster-riding grom self would be proud of. Standing out ishaving the honour of representing Aotearoa twice at the ISA World Longboard Championships in 2024 and 2025, and in 2025 I took out the NZ Nationals. Getting a couple of wins at the West End Wiggle two years running and making two finals at the Single Fin Mingle are also highlights - especially with the community you get to immerse yourself in at those events.
Longboarding especially opened the door to a whole new approach to surfing for me - more waves, variety, and an incredible community to share it all with. Ultimately, the competition is just an excuse to keep connecting with thecommunity that longboarding has brought me and keep exploring our incredible country and different parts of the world.
It means a lot to join the Flow and Grace whānau. I am grateful for the opportunity and excited for what’s ahead!
