Donald Takayama Hawaiian Pro Design and Stretch Surfboards at Pioneers in NH, MA, ME


TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!!!

It's no secret that we're on the hustle to scrape together some money to fund the construction of a killer concrete bowl in Hampton. Thus far we've had car washes, hosted the B-Ball Shoot out, and sold some baked goods! We're doing well with the fundraising effort but tonight is the night we expect to really RALLY. We're going to be PARTYING at THE FLATBREAD PIZZA COMPANY in AMESBURY, MA from 5-10pm. It's gonna be AWESOME!!!! Live music from everyones favorite NH group, TODO BIEN, a 50/50 raffle, we've got a 6'0 Aloha Bean we'll be raffling off, and we'll be selling BRICKS!!! As you can see there will be lots happening and EVERYONE is going to be there!!! Flatbread will be donating $$ from every pie bought so make sure you come HUNGRY.

After you purchase your BRICK you'll be given a sticker just like this one to wear around for the night so that everyone knows you're DOWN FOR THE CAUSE!!!! In case you need a reminder what buying a brick for the skatepark is all about check it HERE!


This is the board that will be up for raffle tonight! It's a 6'0 Aloha Bean. It has carbon fiber rails and is stringerless! It's the type of board you can surf in any kind of wave! There will be 25 raffle tickets available at $25 a piece which means you have a pretty good chance at winning this beauty. Every cent raised through this raffle will go directly to the skatepark. Our good buddy Ed at GLOBAL SURF INDUSTRIES is down for the cause and hooked us up with this board at no charge! What a guy!

In other news.... WE HAVE WAVES THIS MORNING!!! And I'm not talking about knee high slop waves like the past two weeks, I'm talking about chest high sets and relatively clean too! I was so stoked to surf that I was in the water at 5:30 this morning. I surfed for 3 hours and got tons of waves. I'm in love with my new PLACEBO ROCKET and I'm pretty sure I did the best turn of my life today on it. In my head I looked like a goofy footed Joel Parkinson out there for a split second! I'm confident that Joel would agree!

We had a late arrival yesterday and 6 beautiful STRETCH F4s showed up as well as 6 Hawaiian Pro longboards from the Legendary Donald Takayama.


First up is the In The Pink model from Takayama. This board features a 2 + 1 fin set up with a 60/40 rail. With a harder rail by the tail this board will really turn but through it's design will nose ride with the best of them. The In The Pink is one of the most well rounded longboards on the planet! In addition to the In The Pink we also got a really nice 9'2 DT-2 and an 8'6 Scorpion.


Now here is the Stretch F4. The design of the nose and tail is fuller which straightens out the mid-section, thus inducing speed. The fuller template also affords riders to go about 2″ shorter than their normal short board. The 4 fin configuration is such that it rides like a tri-fin yet pro­duces even more drive and acceleration. A “fishy” feel that surfs off the tail; this design is quick turning, ultra-responsive, and fast! From small beach breaks to Tahit­ian death tubes to monster Mavericks, Nathan, as well as many other team riders, are riding this design in any size, in any condition, and in any location! We've got them in sizes 6'0, 6'2, 6'4, 6'8, 7'0, and 7'6 in all white, they all come with a bag and fins at a great price.

Both the weather and the wave forecasts have potential! Keep the stoke ALIVE and we'll see you tonight!!!
