Born and raised in Palm Beach County, the sand, sea and sun are more then just part of the scenery, its a way of life. The Makai Project is part of this philosophy. Meaning seaward or toward the sea in Polynesian, Makai Project embraces this sentiment, breaking from the commercial and returning to something simpler. We specialize in custom made, handcrafted skateboards and surfboards, creating the means to connect with the sea.
Two kicktail boards made at Makai Project, the top using Aspen, Poplar and Mahogany, while the bottom mini shredder was made with Aspen and Mahogany. |
With a mind on design, a desire for high performance and an eye on quality, through material and construction, everything from the Makai Project has been thoroughly tested before making it to you. Each board is handmade, each stick of wood meticulously examined before making the cut, and only the best of materials, from the marine grade laminating epoxy resin to the proprietary plywood construction, make it below your feet.
Makai's shop is a constant evolution, new designs are continuously coming, some making the grade, others making the scrap heap.
