Hybrids
With over 30 years of experince shaping boards, I’ve made (and ridden) almost every combination of shapes and styles one could image. I produce many Hybrid shapes that float great, paddle well, and perform outstanding in the water. Please visit the contact page to submit an inquiry about my shapes or to place a custom surfboard order.
Mahalo!
Would this apply in the Un ited Kingdom too?
Dear George Ku,
I am interested in one of your hybrid egg shapes. I weigh approx. 75 kg and looking for a board that gives me plenty of glide to compete with the longboarders at the common town spots (cliffs, lighthouse, kewalos). My standard shortboard has the dimensions 6’6”/19.5”/2.5”. What dimensions would you suggest for a egg in the 6’4”-6’6” range? What would be the approx. price for such a board with strong glassing and a 2+1 fin set-up?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Malte

Aloha George,
I surf here on Oahu and I was looking for a fish surfboard. Your boards look like what I am looking for. I am about 235 lbs. I like to turn and drop in late, etc.. What kind of size board do you recommend for me?
It kind of depends on your physical ability, and where you surf…Off hand I would lean towards something in the 7’6 range, 22+ width,
2.75″ EPS or better, 3 1/8 PU or thicker…. good luck ! gk

Having my family move to the mainland i always feel i need to buy from hawaii and support the aina. I wanted to buy a board, first time really on stand up, but dont want to start with a long board. Being 5’3″ at 200 lbs, what kine board would you build for me and how much?
Mahalo,
Niko
Hi George, I was looking at your boards and really liked the one marked 8hbb looks between hybrid and gun . I’ve been looking for some thing like this, and would like to know more about it.
Mahalo, Jeff
I designed and developed Hybrids about 15-20 years ago. I didn’t like riding thin, narrow boards, and I couldn’t get my “quota”. The Hybrid is just a fuller designed shortboard with a little more “ears” up on the nose. The bottoms and rocker can be what ever you like. When AM first saw my boards, he asked “what’s this” ? and that was the beginning of the hybrids popularity. Most of the shapers use Vee bottoms….All of mine have a running Inverted Vee with some Vee just under the nose to cut the chop, and I have my own custom rocker. The Hybrid design is faster, looser, and can hold a higher line on the face. They also paddle better than most other boards because of their volume. As long as they are foiled right, there’s no problem. For bigger and/or older guys, it’s the best design on the market today. The one downside that they do have is that in really choppy, bumpy, windy blown surf, they are difficult to control…but,(read on)
Hybrids also have a wider range of surf that they will perform well in….anything from 2-3′ up to 10′…perfect for traveling…or if you can only afford one board and you don’t want a 9′ longboard,….get a Hybrid !
They paddle great, and are fast and loose ! Aloha, George
