Guy shaping custom board

While growing up Guy was surrounded by Surfing Legends and Iconic surfboard shapers who understood the nuances of their creations. It’s Guy’s opinion that the best surfboards are shaped by world renowned surfers. 

Custom Surfboards

Guy’s custom surfboard models are all designed and shaped by him in the USA and every model he produces has been surfed and refined.

Each piece of foam is made to Guy’s specific order where the stringer is unique and the foam weight is decided upon by the design of the board. 

HAND CRAFTED FINS

All the custom fins are designed by Guy Takayama and hand crafted in the United States. Many of the fin designs were developed from Guy’s background in physics.

Some of his fins have unique shapes that you won’t find from other fin manufacturers. The Manta and Orca are two examples of Guy’s unique fin designs.
