THE HPM TEAM |

HIGH PERFORMANCE MODELS WAS STARTED IN 2002 WHEN
TONY & KIM
ARRIVED IN
NEW ZEALAND
AND FOUND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET
PRODUCTS FOR RC BOATS.
OVER
THE YEARS, TO MEET THE
COMPETITIVE SPORT OF RC BOATING
HPM HAS GROWN FROM A FAMILY BUSINESS
TO A COMPETENT TEAM CONSISTING OF TONY, KIM, TYRONE & ANDREW. EVERYONE ON THE HPM
TEAM IS PASSIONATE ABOUT RC BOATS AND ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN
THE HOBBY. WE ARE ALL MEMBERS OF THE MANUKAU,
NZMPBA &
CENTRAL CLUBS
AND ENJOY RACE
MEETINGS VIRTUALLY EVERY WEEKEND. WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT EXPERTISE
& IDEAS THAT WE BRING TO HPM.
OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE
AT HIGH PERFORMANCE MODELS IS THAT YOU HAVE AS MUCH FUN RC BOATING
AS WE DO AND HAVE LEARNT THROUGH THE YEARS THAT THE BEST WAY TO DO
THIS IS BY HAVING TOP BRANDS THAT PERFORM WELL.

THE BEST THING ABOUT ANDREW IS HE IS ALWAYS READY TO HELP
FELLOW BOATERS AND IS ALWAYS HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT
PERFORMANCE BOATS, HE IS ALSO THE GUY TO SPEAK TO IF YOU WANT A
CUSTOM BUILT BOAT.

WHEN I MET TONY 28
YEARS AGO I STARTED SHARING HIS PASSION FOR RC POWERBOATS AND BECAME
HIS PIT MECHANIC. WE HAVE TRAVELED ALL OVER THE WORLD ATTENDING RC
BOATING EVENTS. WE HAVE MET SOME REALLY WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND FORMED
SOME GOOD FRIENDSHIPS. I REALLY ENJOY RUNNING HPM AND SEE IT AS A
HOBBY NOT A JOB. I LOVE DOING THE WEBSITE &, NEWS LETTERS AND HOPE
YOU ENJOY THEM TO. |
