Every now and then we find a product so special, clever in its design and so obviously simple in operation, that we wonder why we didn’t think of it ourselves. Meet Shark Seats, an elegant solution to comfort aboard your vessel. If they are good enough for the Team NZ Americas Cup chase boats, they will undoubtedly work for you!

Shark, the popular NZ designer of suspension-seats is a wholly owned subsidiary of Springfield Marine, so immediately you know the quality and performance you can expect. Founder and Managing Director, Paul Zwaan, recently announced it has appointed Tenob Wholesale Marine to distribute Shark shock mitigation suspension seats in New Zealand.

“Shark has been a leader in shock mitigation for 12 years since making its first sale to the NZ Navy. Since then, it has become NATO registered and provided seats to private users and maritime authorities, Navies, Coastguard, Customs and Police in 50 countries” he said. “Our goal has always been to make suspension seating available to all boat users, yielding fun, safe and comfortable boating experiences. Joining the Tenob team allows us to accelerate the process of bringing these successful and life-changing products to our home market”. The patented design has three times the suspension travel of other products, and in a package that is smaller and costs much less”. Tenob’s Managing Director, Danny Bassi said “We have been looking for a good quality shock mitigating suspension seating system for a while now, and, as a distributor for Springfield seating for almost a decade, being appointed to distribute Shark seating was just a no brainer. It is a good fit with our existing product range, extending our offering to all our customers”.

Available as either the Shark seat mount only, or as a complete seat and mount package, there will be a model to suit. More details, including sizes, specifications and ratings, can be found HERE.
