Sup boards for kids

I have been busy shaping highly specialized mini sup boards for kids.  These are hybrids of the Pat Fukuda and Milkman models that are designed for the light weight grom.  Most kids take to sup surfing naturally and it is a shame to limit their progress with a fat plug designed for an adult.  The ones pictured are 7'10"x24"x3.25".

Kazuma Kids surf the Maui slab

The Kazuma Kids score perfect waves again on Maui. This right slab is one of the kid's favorite spots when the waves are big. Kaimana, Chaz and Joaomarco caught at least 20 barrels each. Pretty amazing considering these kids are still too young to drive.

ImaiKalani Devault is one of the most talented surfers in the world. At 13 years old, Imai has an impressive resume of contest results and international media exposure that would usually be associated with someone twice his age. Here are some pictures of Imai at one of his favorite secret spots on the island of Maui, this is the life most surfers dream about. Maui No Ka Oi.
Thank you to Pat Devault for the awesome photo's.

Kazuma kids Jaws session 1/2/2011


Check out the home made video of Chaz Kinoshita and Joao Marco Maffini tow surfing Jaws on January 2nd 2011. The conditions were terrible and the wind was crazy strong but the kids are always waiting for Jaws to break and won't miss an opportunity to surf it. We ended up surfing it till dark, another beautiful day in paradise. It is nice to have such an amazing wave in our back yard, I hope the kids know how lucky they are.
