Our Premium Surfboards
AIPA
Founded in 1970 by Hawaiian surfer and shaper Ben Aipa, the brand has been making waves in the surfing industry and carries a rich legacy of craftsmanship and innovation. Following traditional Hawaiian craftsmanship combined with state-of-the-art technology, AIPA produces high-quality surfboards that excel in performance and maneuverability and represent the spirit of Hawaii and its deep-rooted surfing culture. Each surfboard is meticulously crafted to provide surfers with the optimal balance of speed, control, and responsiveness, regardless of the wave conditions. With a strong focus on performance and innovation, the brand continues to shape the surfing landscape with its top-tier surfboards and support for athletes, solidifying its place as a respected and sought-after name in the surf industry.
The Dark Horse by AIPA
The Dark Horse is a lively and responsive board supercharged for high-performance grovelling. It is an adaption of AIPA’s Dark Twinn but with the wing more forward to correlate with the quad forward fins. As a result, this board has a more controlled response on the rail with an intense precision reaction in the pocket, that increases the stability to handle bigger waves. The combination of wing to fin placement, wing flute and heavy vee with double concave out the tail creates an intuitive tipping point for your backfoot to transfer rail to rail effortlessly with minimal pressure for tight in the pocket reactions or long drawn out carves. The Dark Horse is a trusty board for difficult conditions that already has already proven its raison d'être several times by world-class surfers. Be the next one!
Bishop by AIPA
The Bishop was developed as an enhanced daily driver designed for drive, arcing rail engagement and a medium range pivot. It consists of a competition rocker / pulled in nose outline and rolled bottom for automatic speed on the take off. For performance, a generous single under the front foot has been added, flowing it into a deep single with double and moderate Vee out of the tail. The Bishop started out mainly as an all around competition board and became a freestyle blade for the everyday warrior, ideal for between shoulder high and overhead conditions.
The Dark Twinn by AIPA
The Dark Twinn was developed as part of Aipa’s Dark Series, a series of new designs inspired by Ben Aipa’s classic shapes and modernized for futuristic surfing. The shift in wing placements engages the wing-to-fin relationship and accents how the board performs as a twin fin. Featuring, Mid-range rockers, and a lowered rail apex line, the Dark Twinn is a high-performance groveler built for aggressive surfing in soft waves. A staged bottom contour with a blended roll from the nose down into a single concave under the forward foot transitions into a double concave that is deepest between the forward fins. The concave then blends with a healthy amount of vee/double-concave, starting at the wing, and easing through the tail. The Dark Twinn is a lively and responsive board proven from gentle surf breaks to juicy Hawaiian surf.
KT Surfing
KT Surfing is a prominent surfboard brand, founded in 2003 by renowned Australian shaper and surfer Keith Teboul. It represents a fusion of passion for the ocean, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of surfboard design and sustainability. KT’s boards not only enhance surfer’s experiences but also have a minimal impact on the environment. The fact that KT supports legends, such as Kai Lenny, who won the men’s XXL Biggest Wave Awards for his 70-foot bomb at Nazaré in 2020, speaks for itself and the brand’s high-quality boards.
AR by KT Surfing
KT’s AR is a board for day-to-day average conditions leaning towards speed, flicky turns and airs. An easy paddler with an even foam flow / fuller outline / slight bump in the tail outline. The rocker is low off the tail with a medium entry, that keeps your speed and helps to not get hung up at low speeds in mid-turn. This board is truly an All-Around-Talent (=AR).
Helix by KT Surfing
The Helix has become a favourite among team riders Kai Lenny, Imai Devault, and Ian Walsh, offering exceptional paddling, tube riding, and manoeuvrability. Featuring a slightly wider tail and a more centred wide point, it is equipped with a medium tail rocker and medium entry rocker. This combination enables the board to handle heavier waves and maintain control at higher speeds. The medium rail provides ample grip while remaining forgiving for faster rides.
MISFIT Shapes
MISFIT Shapes is a brand that proudly defies the norms and embraces a touch of madness. An authentic response to the ever-changing era, a movement rooted in surfing that dares to let art, design, and individuality thrive in a realm typically dominated by conformity and observation and breaking free from the shackles of convention while opening their arms to the wild and unpredictable. MISFIT Shapes refuses to be confined by a single leader or manifesto. Instead, they share a bold commitment to pushing the limits of the well-oiled machinery that is the surf industry. The result is an extraordinary collective of misfits—slightly deranged yet undeniably powerful individuals. They identify as the cultural agitators, the rebels who challenge the status quo, and the embodiment of MAD MINDS in all their forms. Whether you're an experienced surfer craving a spark of madness or someone yearning for a break from the mundane, MISFIT provides an ultimate alternative.
Speed Egg Twin by MISFIT Shapes
The Speed Egg is an all-round design with a relaxed entry rocker for ease of paddle plus a slight lift and a snubbed off nose to reduce catching in critical parts of the wave. The clean outline has an accented forward placed wide point for effortless paddle and trim. The diamond tail provides fluidity and control, while the points of the diamond accent the rail line, giving it more drive when combined with the twin fin configuration. Effortless release and masses of speed are guaranteed. The bottom shape is the same subtle roll vee to double vee combination, which paired with the twin fin, diamond tail + shortening of overall length, create an even livelier all-rounder that flows, glides, and positions in a wide range of locations and conditions. This board suits your transitioning surfer, through to your experienced shortboard rider that wants a fast, flowing, dynamic mid-length. This spicy little board will have you feeling naughty with every wave. And who doesn’t want that?!
Dope Machine by MISFIT Shapes
Unrivalled, unprecedented, pure fun: the Dope Machine is MISFIT Shapes' first board of collaboration with Advocate George Henderson. The signature diamond tail gives the board a shorter rail line, so the water breaks earlier which creates an early pivot point for a wildly responsive, tighter turning board that also allows for positioning in more critical parts of a wave. The rail volume is reduced slightly, the rocker increased and the bottom concave charged up for damn a lively ride.
Fungzetti by MISFIT Shapes
The Fungzetti epitomizes high-end luxury and performance. The thickness along the stringer provides retained paddle power and a forgiving ride, while the medium to low rails offer sensitivity and a reactive rail feel. The board has a single concave from nose to tail, perfect for speed generation. The fin placements are adjusted to provide drive, lift, incredible release, and projection out of the tail. This board has been designed by one of the best free surfers of our generation, Mitch Coleborn, but it is equally suited for everyday surfers.
SMTH Shapes
SMTH Shapes is a well-established surfboard manufacturing company that stands for innovation and the production of top-notch surfboards, committed to pushing the boundaries of surfboard technology. Led by the visionary Jordy Smith, a highly accomplished professional surfer, SMTH Shapes aims to inspire young surfers through intelligent surfboard design, that embraces the challenge of utilizing cutting-edge technology, employing cutting files, and paying meticulous attention to every detail of each surfboard model. SMTH Shapes offers a diverse range of boards including performance boards and mid-length boards, ensuring that there's a perfect option for every surfer.
Twin Trailer by SMTH Shapes
The Twin Trailer is a timeless design, inspired by Graham Smith’s time shaping “MR’s” in California as these iconic shapes exploded on the surf scene. To create this model rather than tuning up an old retro shape, The Smith’s took a modern high performance fish design and modified it to suit smaller conditions. These updates include relaxing the rocker and using a “beak nose” to hide more volume under the chest area.
Haydenshapes
Haydenshapes is a brand that encompasses performance surfboards, wetsuits, and contemporary fashion. Founded by Hayden Cox in 1997, the brand is based in Sydney and Los Angeles. One of its notable contributions to surfboards globally is the patented parabolic carbon fibre frame construction called 'FutureFlex,' a design that has significantly influenced and paved the way for modern innovations in the surfing category. Setting itself apart from peers, Haydenshapes is known for its contemporary and high-end approach to design and construction. It embraces multi-faceted design-led collaborations that extend beyond surfboards.
Plunder by HAYDENSHAPES
The Plunder is a board that is particularly suited for those days when maximizing fun relies on surface area and speed. It caters to surfers with a skill level. With its fuller-plane shape, the Plunder is designed to bring versatility and enjoyment to small waves, without compromising on superior performance. The board performs well in everyday conditions due to its unique surface area in the outline, enabling it to glide surprisingly fast even in weaker waves. Additionally, the soft diamond tail and the rail-line rocker towards the back third allow the Plunder to respond and make turns effectively when encountering favourable wave sections.
Hypto Krypto by HAYDENSHAPES
The Hypto Krypto is a balance of tradition and modern performance. Suited from the elite level surfer to the everyday surfer, it is often referred to as the ‘one board quiver’ for its versatility across all types of surf conditions – from small 1-3 ft beach breaks, to barrels of up to 8ft. This board is just the perfect fit for your stay at Kima.
Hawaiian Pro Designs
Hawaiian Pro Designs Surfboards are boards designed by legend Donald Takayama. Donald Takayama’s legacy is a combination of the world's best boards, best surfers and best waves, making his boards some of the most sought after in the surfing world. Takayama was famous for his progressive designs that combined both traditional and high-performance aspects into every board made. As a result, the best surfers chose his boards to bring their surfing to the next level.
Egg by Hawaiian Pro Designs
The EGG is a classic Takayama design that can be credited with introducing many modern day “Mid-length” advocates this style of board. If you’re not quite ready to “rip and shred” on a short board, nor are you interested in cruising on a longboard, then the Takayama EGG is the perfect solution. This model is an eggy shape that allows the rider to trim high on the wave in the middle of the board or race down the line on the tail. It is a great board for beginner to advanced riders, who like to surf smooth waves. No question that this board has to be part of our Premium Surfboard Collection.
Walden Performance Surfboards
Known by many as the “Father of the Modern Longboard,” Steve Walden shaped his first surfboard in 1961, at age 13, and never looked back. Eight years later, he opened his first board factory and store in Huntington Beach and made a name for himself as a prolific longboard shaper. With arguably the most advanced and high performance longboard on the market, Walden was uniquely positioned to capitalize on the resurgence of longboarding in the late 80s and 90s. To date, Walden estimates he’s personally shaped more than 20,000 boards, and in 2004, he teamed up with Global Surf Industries to distribute his shapes and expand the Walden Surfboards brand worldwide.
Deviled Egg by Walden
The DEVILED EGG is designed for handling a wide range of wave conditions from waist-high to overhead and serving as the ultimate travel board. It all started with a classic mid-length egg outline, where a concave bottom and hard rails have been added. A pulled-in nose, rounded pin tail, and longdrawn-out curve through the middle of the board’s outline are a few of the features that make the Deviled Egg a highly maneuverable yet smooth-riding hybrid. The Deviled Egg also has plenty of volume to get into waves early, plus just enough rocker and nose kick to handle steeper drops. For riders who want dependability and are looking to blur the lines between shortboarding and longboarding look no further than the Deviled Egg.
Gerry Lopez
Gerry Lopez grew up in Hawaii in the 1950s and 1960s. He played a part in the shortboard revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s. He experienced the awe, fear and ultimate satisfaction of finding the tube in the early days at the Pipeline. He traveled for surf throughout the world: to the original surf camp at G-Land, the exotic islands off Sumatra and especially to the magic island of Bali, Indonesia - before it became a popular surf destination. He experienced the beginnings of windsurfing on Maui, the early years of snowboarding and tow-in surfing at Jaws. Fast forward to today and Gerry Lopez is shaping some truly unique boards that keeps his surfing journey moving forward.
Something Fishy by Gerry Lopez
The SOMETHING FISHY is fast as heck, but the updates Gerry gave the board like the rails, bottom shape, and rocker give it a bit more maneuverability and make the board easier to control. This lightweight and responsive built is great for high-performance ripping, down-the-line projections, and other aggressive surfing techniques. If you are a Fish lover, this board is made for you!
Roger Hinds
Roger Hinds shaping career has spawned four decades and encompassed the multi-faceted evolution of the short board. From his early days of stripped down long boards during the transition era, to refining his skills under the tutelage of the likes of Ed Angulo, Jeff Edwards and Kent Smith.

Dream Fish by Roger Hinds
As the name implies, the DREAM FISH s a Fish that performs beyond expectations. The curve of the outline allows you to get more vertical than the traditional Fish, while the width in the tail gets you through the flatter or slower sections. Expect fast, loose, carving possibilities that are only limited by your imagination, the “Dream Fish” is a perfect choice for versatility and overall performance surfing.
Nomad by Roger Hinds
The NOMAD has a shortboard high performance rocker combined with a larger planning surface and a thinner overall foil, which creates a more responsive, versatile surfboard.
