I live on the east end of Long Island in the Hamptons I have been stand up paddle boarding for the last three years, when I saw the Kahuna big stick Hukilau Longboard I thought wow what great workout potential for days when you just can't get on the water there is always the road. The Hukilau 57'' is a nice smooth ride and great for cruising and working out but it does not feel like a performance board. For my needs and riding style it's perfect. So far I've yet to see anyone on the East End rolling with the big stick. So closing with my review, I would highly recommend this board to anyone ready to step into the future, peace BW!

It's beautiful! It's topnotch quality! it's for cruising not cutting. The front wheels will rub the bottom of the board if you turn over aggresively. I am a big guy but also very athletic. I can worjk this board over and it responds very well........until pushed beyond the limit (too sharp). other than that it is perfect. Gets lots of looks. I know they all want one too! I found this in a Store in Whitefish, MT. being used as a prop - I bought it and now ride it in Colorado. Nobody else around here has ever seen one before. (Posted on 6/22/10)

I have owned the Hukilau for several months now. We have a blacktop road in our neighborhood without hills and it is basically a flat venue. In researching the board there were a number of references to the cross training potential of the board which I was particularly interested in. With surfing in mind, this board glides, makes beautiful turns, has mass to provide momentum, and yields just an amazing feel overall. The closest think I can compare it to is the feeling of surfing on my longboard. Again with glide and turns that are quite similar to being on the water. Hence it does serve as a surfing cross trainer which is huge as you can't always get to the water but you can launch from the driveway. The kids also love to take it for a spin and stampede for rides! I also purchased a Kahuna Stick and with the SUP in mind, a whole new dimension is introduced. Now it's SUP time and the rig becomes a good cross trainer for this based on my paddling experiences in the bay. Just a great board and my overall impression is a huge thumbs up for the Hukilau!
