Here you see the new peanut butter model. A revised version of our popular small wave model PUNT.

Visit Kimo’s new shop if you haven’t already. Over 800 boards to choose from! Corner of Kailua road.

My wife got a new board for her birthday. 9′0″ AA-C model. As you can see she is happy as can be. She also made herself a new board bag for her new board.

Jumbo has been blowing my mind riding his 56 Twinkie out at Mokuleia. Seen him taking off on some waves way bigger than what I thought the board was designed for. Mind over matter.

Take a look at my retro quiver. Twinkie, EZE and a BZ3. Above are some photoshop versions that i mocked up for ads but I never used them.

Recently been working with Syd Kinimaka, cousin of legendary waterman Titus Kinimaka. We have been working on high performance stand up paddle designs that will perform better in the pocket of the wave. We were able to glue up great rockers using the new 93A USBLANK which allowed us to get a true bottom rocker. By using the entire length of the blank to get a 9′1″ board we do not have to cut off as much from the ends and loose the desired rocker curve. Feedback from these boards have been great. Greater balance with smooth transitions is what Syd says. I do not think you will ever be able to get a true high performance stand up paddle board with the epoxy boards that are currently available.

Here’s a 10′1″ classic single fin build by Sparky in 1987. These boards are highly sought after and you will rarely find one for sale. If  you do luck out and find one for sale, it usually is in pretty bad shape like this board. When I saw this board it gave me inspiration to bring back the single fin shapes that the Hawaii guys love to ride. Everyone has been so caught up into the 60’s california log shapes that we forget that the surfing done in Hawaii is alot different. When I watch the old timers at ala moana beach park like Fuji and Reid, they are actually surfing their boards rather than just trimming. So keep a look out for some new designs for summer 09.

Here’s James with his new 5′8″ T4 with a custom checker designed by him. James is the owner of Leilei a Hawaiian jewrley company in Waikiki. He has also designed some boards for us to be sold exclusivly at Surf Garage.

Finally my own personal Stand Up board. It’s a 10′1″ X 28″ X 4″ set up as a keel twin fin with rear stabalizers to help tracking while paddling. Built for paddling and surfing small to extra small surf only!

Here’s a board i picked up from Kimo’s Surf Hut today. I traded a used 6′6″ for this gem. It’s a 6′1″ X 19 1/4″ X 2 1/2″ ultralight HIC. The board is in such great shape and super light for an 80’s board. Has the original trac top deck pad. The reason i had to have it was the fact that the airbrush was done by my friend Ronnie Yamada. He used to airbrush surfboards for over 20 years but now he does tattoo at 808tattoo.
