"I'm a surfboard nerd," admits Keoki. Rightfully so-he has a degree in molecular biology, and a scientific background that has made his approach to surfboard building very analytical. As a former consultant to the Bishop museum in Honolulu Hawaii, Keoki has had privileged access to analyze boards that have spanned surfing's history, and it shows. One look at his shaping portfolio and one can ascertain that he has invested tremendous amounts of research and refinement into his designs. He shaped his first board 12 years ago, and has since developed a unique style which reflects a background that combines scientific inquiry, historical understanding, artistic innovation, and a love for surfing.

We can no longer take custom orders for Tommy.

I've been shaping for six years for Town & Country Hawaii and have been influenced by many great Hawaiian shapers such as Glenn Pang, Cino, Todd Pinder and K. Rapoza, to name a few. I also respect and admire Ben Aipa, Glenn Minami and Dennis Pang for their pure surfing styles. I feel lucky to be living in Hawaii. I see all kinds of waves and meet surfers who will test my new designs all the time.
My ultimate goal is to make unique board designs that everyone can enjoy, not the pro models that the majority follows for vertical high performance. My shaping philosophy is fast and smooth rather than quick and loose. Big or small guy, powerful-pumping or week-leaning style, fast-hollow or slow-sloppy break, you need the right type of board to have more fun and put that smile on your face. I am devoted to providing real custom shapes, the one you won't find in any store or web site, the one made just for you.

Mike Tuten has been shaping surfboards for 28 years
and to date has done around 17,000 surfboards. Pro surfers
who have enjoyed Mike's shapes have ranged from old schoolers
like Tom Curren to Gen-X Pipe charger Mark Healey. "Doing pro
boards is cool, but what I really am excited about is shaping a
magic board for a regular guy. I love getting calls like I did today
from my new friend Kapena in town, who says his new Fish is the best
board he's ever ridden". One of the most professional shapers
in the world, Mike's detailed follow-through and attention to personal service
have earned loyal confidence from his customers. "I got started
because I couldn't get ego-shapers to show up or do the board I ordered.
You can learn new things from everybody, even beginners. It keeps your
blades sharp and your eyes open."

Brian Tudor has that special gift for design and craftsmanship that puts his boards over the top. They combine an awesome balance of speed, function and simplicity. This is what makes his hand-crafted Bats so unique. They have a natural feel that cannot be duplicated in plastic or pop-out style boards. Brian first started shaping in 1988 at the age of 16. Since then he has shaped thousands of boards. These include high-performance shortboards, fishes of all kinds and semi and full guns for real waves around the world. Brian has shaped for pros like Shea and Corey Lopez, Tommy O'brien, Justin Brown, Sean Tubbs, Ben Bougois, C.T. Taylor and Todd Morcom to name just a few.
