Chances Surf NZ is a New Zealand-owned retailer of surf, swim and street-brand clothing, with 12 stores across the country and an online shop. The Takanini store sits on Great South Road, between Papakura and Manukau, a long way from the coast. For anyone in south Auckland who wants surf and street labels without a drive to the beach, that is the practical draw.
The range covers men's, women's and kids' clothing, and the website lists sizes from XS to XL on some items and 6 to 14 on others. The company calls itself New Zealand's number one retailer for this kind of clothing, which is its own claim. Its stores are in the same network as the online shop, so a customer can check a size or colour online and then try it on in Takanini.
