HAWAI’I HANDSHAPES
All Hawai’i orders are hand shaped on the island of Kauai.
Orders are open year-round and can be shipped inter-island or picked up at my shop on island - There are a few limitations for Hawai’i orders:
1) I can not ship internationally or to the mainland from Hawai’i. Any order for anywhere else in the world should go through my CA/Intl. orders batches.
2) For the 2026/2027 season I am only doing clear or airbrush boards - no resin tints at this time unless we discuss when we talk about your order, the timing for resin color on island is unpredictable and causes very long waits.
I like to reach out about your order’s details when I’m a week or two from shaping your board - so once your deposit is placed if you need to get a hold of me or my team feel free to email lovelacesurfcraft@gmail.com.
Turnaround time and price varies depending on your order, clear glass jobs and simple stringers get done much quicker and easier. Larger boards and specific stringer orders add time as these blanks are not available on Kauai without ordering from California or Oahu (if we’re lucky). Average timing is 12-15 weeks, depending.
Please be advised since we have minimal infrastructure on-island for production board building, that timelines can change drastically throughout the year and board to board, I can only handle about 5-8 boards at a time in my small shop, and I get blanks by barge every few weeks, so wait times can be long.

Orders built for and in Hawai’i can be picked up on Kauai, or shipped inter-island. I cannot ship to mainland or international from Kauai. As everything on island takes longer than usual, here is a little list of things to know ahead of time, so that we’re all on the same page.
-Timing can vary and is dependent on your board, clear glass is much quicker than any type of color.
-Custom stringers and some longer boards (8’+) can see much longer wait times as I have less direct access to larger blanks and have to bring them over via Young Brothers from Oahu.
-Currently for color work I am only doing only clear or airbrush, no resin color unless built in California and shipped to Hawai’i.
-Shipping inter-island is about $100 per board including packing.
