“Well it was a perfect day to go out on the new board it works great. Had a great sesh no one out for three hours. boy this board can turn and my drop ins were perfect.
I need a few more go outs to really find the sweet spot. I think I will go back to H****** tomorrow it was really nice.
Thank for all your help with the board and hope to paddle with you soon.”
Kevin K***** (Burbank, CA)
Took the Mahalo Wide down to the end of the street from the shop to baptize it…really enjoyed how lightweight it was for the carry across the sand…paddled so smooth and fast in the breezy conditions…very stable…and, super responsive on turns…that was in quad mode…in anticipation of more waves this week…
Enjoying the view of the santa Barbara beachfront and mountain backdrop comfortably on the Mahalo…
More images in this GALLERY…

My new carbon Stoke got baptized yesterday in perfect, reeling, head high point break waves…this latest iteration of the Stoke design is everything a bread & butter waveriding SUP should be…stable, fast, responsive…glides nicely…really fast down the line…rode it in quad fin mode with my bamboo sidebiter fin designs…and, it was cutting back and redirecting like it was on autopilot…just what I was looking for…the kind of sesh you want your 1st time out on a new board…since I have had several iterations of this design, this new version in carbon felt like my favorite pair of blue jeans…
My college buddy, Mike, down from Oregon getting his Stoke on…we’ve been surfing and windsurfing together for 3 decades…now adding standup into the mix…
Handcrafted carbon perfection…lighter AND stronger than what you are riding…;-)
