Signature Surfboards

Hi-sai (modern short board)

  • 5’9 - 19.25 - 2.38 (27.8L) 100~145 LBS (45~66KG)
  • 6’0 - 19.63 - 2.63 (32.6L) 145~175 LBS (66~80KG)

The highest performance design among all yet wider pointy nose helps smooth paddle to catch waves. Try Hi-sai to maximize your tail control.

AKULE　(all round)

  • 5’7 - 19.25 - 2.38 (27.8L) 100~145 LBS (45~66KG)
  • 6’0 - 20.5 - 2.75 (37L) 145~180 LBS (66~82KG)

The best seller since 2008. You will feel everything easy because of well blended fishy nose and high bump wing squash tail like 80’s shortboard.
It’s quick yet keeping the flow without pumping.
​If you want more actions compare to any fish designs, this is it.

Sakana (Twin Fish)

  • 5’6 - 20.5 - 2.63 (34.5L) 100~165 LBS (45~75KG)

The fastest design. It’s all about speed especially when It’s clean condition. Try going fast & smooth because it’s not really designed for top and bottom vertical surfing.

Ma-Iwashi (Quad Fish)

  • 5’8 - 20.5 - 2.5 (33L) 100~165 LBS (45~75KG)

You have a little more control but less free feeling compare to twin fish. Quad actually works better for bigger powerful waves.
But this Ma-Iwashi has wider nose & tail that’s good for small waves too.

Style master (Single fin)

  • 5’11 - 19.63 - 2.63 (33L) 100~160 LBS (45~73KG)

This is a modern single fin with single concave to double VEE.
Try not to depend on the fin but use the rails along the outline to turn because of semi-down tapered rails. You need a long clean wall to draw smooth line for this model.

DHM (Diamond Head Moon)

Quad + baby keel 4.5fin

  • 6’2 - 20.25 - 2.63 (36L) 100~160 LBS KG (45~73KG)
  • 7’2 - 21.5 - 2.75 (47L) 150~180 LBS KG (68~82KG)

It might look weird because of the diamond nose but it functionally works. It’s funny to say that you feel it longer when you paddle and feel shorter than actual length when you stand up & turn.
It’s almost cheating. You won’t understand until you try this DHM2.

BBQ (BaBy Queen) single fin

  • 7’6-21.75-2.75 (50.7L) 130~180LBS (60~82KG)

A mini Long board. It has a low locker all the way with slight nose concave. Relax and feel the glide to see if you can find nose-riding section. This board still turns quickly since it’s only 7’6” long.

Mini Nelson 2+1 fin

  • 8’0 - 22 - 2.88 (56.8L) 140~195 LBS (63~88KG)

A performance mini long board. It’s a shorter version of Nelson III Ahina Pro model. (see Nelson model)

Mini Genki （Tri fin）

  • 8’0 - 21.5 - 2.63 (50.2L) 130~170LBS (60~77KG)

A mini long board based on Genki Kino Pro model. A little More responsible and quicker than Nelson pro model. Good for smaller surfer with tri fin set up.

Nelson Ahina pro models (EPS or PU)

  • 9’1 - 22.25 - 2.75 (65L) 130~195 LBS (60~88KG)

Nelson is a top pro Hawaiian long boarder. He always shows effortless style that is super amazing. Nelson model has wide round nose and tail to maximize the glide and powerful turns. We got two boards with the same dimensions but different materials. EPS is for more tricky and flashy rides and PU material for more smooth and natural rides.

Genki Kino pro models (EPS or PU)

  • 9’0 - 21.63 - 2.63 (58L) 120~170 LBS (55~77KG)

Genki is a Japanese pro long boarder. He is shorter and has quicker style compare to Nelson. So this model is basically designed for smaller surfers with narrower nose & tail to be responsible & sensitive. We got two boards with the same dimensions but different materials. EPS is for more tricky and flashy rides and PU material for more smooth and natural rides.

Crystal model

  • 9’2 - 22.5 - 2.88 (68.3L) 130~195 LBS (60~88KG)

Crystal Walsh is well known as a great nose rider with the true Hawaiian style. She loves to stay on the nose forever for both big Chuns reef and small Queens in Waikiki. This model is modern performance nose rider that is easy to ride for all levels of surfing.

DNR (Do Nose Ride) Single fin log

  • 9’4 - 22.75 - 3 (74.6L) 130-195 LBS (60~88KG)

This is not a typical Hawaiian design but more like classic long board with no tail edges. It’s heavy and slow but still fun for clean small day. Relax and feel the board and the wave to let it go.
