Workshop Updates from Kahului

Latest shaping notes, eco-material progress, and service scheduling updates to help you plan your next custom build or visit.

Performance Shape

New “Trade Wind Step-Up” prototype now in rider testing

We finished the first run of a faster rail profile designed for overhead Maui days. Initial feedback shows cleaner hold through late drops with less chatter in cross-shore wind.

Eco Materials

Bio-resin blend trial expanded with updated flax-reinforced layups

Our current sourcing cycle added two lower-impact resin options and a stronger flax schedule for daily-use boards. We’re documenting flex and durability results before adding them to full custom orders.

Workshop Service

Holiday swell season schedule opens with added repair intake windows

From November through January, consultation slots stay available Tuesday to Saturday, with extra morning repair drop-off hours to keep turnaround predictable during peak traffic.
