Custom bodyboards--Kenu Hawaii-custom bodyboard and bodyboards, tandem riding
bodyboards, PWC surf rescue sleds- all made in Hawaii. Free Oahu surf map. Glider planes and song writing too!
When you purchase a bodyboard-or most anything, help your own country for a change.
Make it a point to check where
it was made--and we urge you to strongly consider buying
products made in the good 'ole USA!
If everyone did that, our country would be much stronger and
it would put a lot of people back to work.
Did you know? Ken worked at Turbo Surf Designs Hawaii from
1983 till 2006 as production manager. If you
have an old Turbo board---Ken probably made it.
Same great quality and design--built to last!

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.
