Kazuma

Today, I tried  to find out more about how to build surfboards, windsurfing and stand up.
I visited two major brands here in Maui: Forward Maui and Kazuma Surf Factory.

Kokiʻo ʻula

The Hibiscus (Koki’ò) is the state flower of Hawaii. My first pattern here in Maui, gives thanks to the hibiscus.
Very simple technique:
– get a bicycle, a pair of scissors and a basket;
– go back home and start having fun.

Ole surfboard Maui

There are terms, numbers, words… unknown to me: are the words spoken by those  who decided to make wind and waves, good friends for life.
I know almost nothing about surfboards or windsurfing boards  but I feel it is a world full of traditions, tales, small secrets handed down. First surfboard I see is this board OLE from Maui.
