Donald Takayama Surfboards

Donald Takayama Surfboards is a brand found on the Californian coast making beautifully shaped surfboards. The collection of Takayama surfboards come in all shapes and sizes including longboards, mid-lengths, shortboards and DT Classics.

Donald Takayama was a Hawaiian pro surfer from the 1960s/70s and it has been said that he may have been the world's first professional surfer. He moved from Hawaii to California for a career as a surfboard shaper and ended up a multi-time winner of the United States Surfing Championships. Having been at the top of the game, Donald was able to use his experience and that of his peers, to produce high-performing and elegantly shaped surfboards.
