Dedicated to Making the Finest Handcrafted, Custom Surfboards and Paddleboards

About Custom Surfboards, Paddleboards, and Stand Up Paddleboards

Born and raised on the island of Oahu, I have been fortunate to call the North Shore home for over 30 years. My profession has given me the opportunity to travel the world, surfing and shaping in Japan, Peru, Brazil, Australia, and California. After 40 years, I have lost count of the number of boards I have shaped. The numbers don't matter because I believe that the proof is in performance. I have shaped boards for some of surfing legends, including Mark Foo, Michael Tomson, Wayne 'Rabbit' Bartholomew, Mark Warren, Martin Potter, Dane Kealoha, Larry Bertleman, and Tony Moniz . I have built boards for innovative surfers like Matt Archibald, Jeff Deffenbaugh, Nathan Fletcher, Dino Andino, Dean Morrison, Marcus Hickman, Makua Rothman, and Dave 'Rasta' Rastovich. Each one of these surfers has influenced my work, giving me valuable feedback to improve my craft for the next generation of boards. Just as my surfing is multidimensional, so is the scope of my shaping career, which covers a wide range of surfing craft. My goal, whether building a fish, shortboard, gun, longboard, or standup surf or race board is to create the fastest, most maneuverable, state of the art board available.
