Donald Takayama Surfboards

Donald Takayama Surfboards, a brand situated along the coast of California, crafts exquisitely designed surfboards. The Takayama surfboard collection offers a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including longboards, mid-lengths, shortboards, and DT Classics.

In the 1960s and 70s, Donald Takayama was a Hawaiian pro surfer, and many claim he might have been the very first professional surfer globally. He relocated from Hawaii to California to pursue a career in surfboard shaping and went on to win the United States Surfing Championships multiple times. At the pinnacle of his sport, Donald drew on his own and his contemporaries' experience to create high-performance surfboards with a touch of elegance.
