Aloha friends! Thank you for your interest in me. I’ve been making surfboards since June 1967, when I started working with Channin/Diffenderfer Surfboards. They had a reputation of making some of the finest surfboards in the world and I had the privilege to learn from some of the finest craftsmen in Southern California.

In 1977, I left Southern California and moved to Sunset Beach on the North Shore of O‘ahu. I still live and work there and my shaping room is at the Sugar Mill in Waialua. I have a broad background in shaping surfboards: short boards, longboards, guns, windsurfers, S.U.P’s, foil boards, tow boards, kiteboards, anything that goes in the ocean, I have shaped it.

I do not use the computer to shape my boards, I use traditional tools that our original shapers used and I take great pride in this fact. While everybody asks why I continue this tradition, I answer that I am constantly learning new techniques, improving my overall shaping ability and skills.

For shaping inquiries, please call me at (808) 321-8999 between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Hawai‘i time Monday through Friday. Only accepts actual phone calls, not texts.
