supporting world wide bodyboarding
and elite riders since 1996.

PRO RIDERS
HOPTONG SMITH (Waianae, Hawaii)
riding style = "anything"
years bodyboarding "as long as I can remember"
known best for = "airs"
Hoptong Smith has achieved legendary status from the serious surfing and bodyboarding legends on the west side of Oahu. Not an easy feat to achieve, but the stand up master aerialist is on the same level as Cavin Yap, Chris Won, and Danny Kim. The kid is setting up to be one of the most versatile riders in the world. Hoptong's a threat to any stand up in the world. 2'nd place stand up champ '99

PRO RIDER Kaui Kauhi
KAUI KAUHI (Waimanalo, Hawaii) photo
riding style = versatile (d.k. prone)
years bodyboarding = (~14 years)
favorite board = (Ballistic PitBull)

Ever since Kaui Took the U.S.am National Championships at Trestles back in the early 90's he has exploded in the bodyboarding scene. A short boxing career and training put some serious weight on his frame but he still rips harder than when he was a grom. Prone or Drop Knee, Kaui Kaui is all about power surfing.
2'nd Place 1999 Drop Knee Championships, Pipeline
