Straight Up Surfboards

Everyone talks about the magic board. Well, I actually owned one! The best board I ever owned was a 6'2" Island Classics shaped by Kim Purington. It had deep six channels and was so fast and responsive. It really was an amazing board! I rode it in Hawaii, California, France, and finally broke it in Spain. I have never had a board like it since! Order your magic board from Kim now!

I have been surfing for 15 years and these guys are the best bang for your buck. Better and cheaper than anywhere else! No brainer. Just received my second custom hand-shaped surfboard from Kim Purrington at Straight Up Surfboards Hawaii. The first one was perfect I told him what kind of surfing I do then boom I had my first "magic board". Same process for the second one. It looks perfect as well. Some people don't understand the importance of a custom board. I'll tell you, off the rack boards from stores, if you can find dimensions that suit you, have really light, weak glass jobs and Kim Purrington will recommend the right glass job for you. It's fully custom and the kicker is even with all the added glass and talk time it is WAY CHEAPER and the quality is WAY BETTER. You can't go wrong with Straight Up Surfboards Hawaii. I know some people who have been getting boards from Kim for there whole lives. He is such a good guy and an even better shaper who used to shape with Eric Arakawa. Kim is just a brilliant artisanal surfboard shaper.
