LOOK--------
I always recommend "incremental" changes to your board to achieve that perfect board.
Before you order a new board from me, I will need from you these measurements from your old favorite board. Looking at the top of your board, use a measuring tape or yardstick and find:

1. nose width--from edge of rail foams

2. length- stand the board up and measure it

3. tail width

4. wide point and where it occurs--is the widest point 21" wide and it occurs 16" down from the nose?? Measure it and let me know.

5. Thickness- lay the board flat on a table. Place a book or wood on top, and then measure the distance between the book and the tabletop.

When you have these measurements along with your height, weight, type of waves you ride, and the city where you live--- Email Us or call (808) 429-2973. I can't give shipping quotes unless I know where you live!

 

Blast from the past-
Here's a 20 + year old board that my brother Russ designed and I made--brings back memories. This board was recently brought in to me to have new red foam rails installed. As is typical with these boards I make, the vinyl top looks like new even after 20+ years. The white plastic has turned a little yellow and the foam rails have literally turned to dust. The customer installed those handles a long time ago. I used Photoshop to remove an unsightly homegrown bottom repair and took off the original logos. I still can make that same flame design if anybody is interested--

I really like the rounded curved nose and the wingers-- very stylish---those were the days!!!


 

New-
 

This is pic taken from the rear of a new tandem riding board I made for Scott. The color is actually white and the pic obviously has been modified, but look at the unusual contours and curves. Designed to hold Keiki very securely and make sure Dad doesn't slip off --and has total control. He can also paddle it around without his fins by himself like a little surfboard and catch plenty waves.
