Orders for China-made water-sports equipment have surged. At a motorized
surfboard plant, workers say production schedules are booked about two weeks out
as management races to fill orders. Accessories including surf hoods and
waterproof bags are selling out online and factories are expediting
replenishment. China remains the world’s largest sports-goods exporter,
accounting for more than 40% of global exports. In 1H, Chinese sports goods and
equipment exports totaled 67.53 bln yuan; paddleboards and other water-sports
equipment exports reached 4.77 bln yuan.
