KAYU SURFBOARD

Sustainable Hollow Balsa Wooden Surfboards

KAYU surfboards is located on the beautiful Indonesian island of Bali, a surfers heaven with a long history of surf culture and undoubtedly, world-class waves! The brand strives for a more rooted vision of surfing by bringing back the traditional craftsmanship of hollow wooden surfboards and manufactures the highest quality surfboard blanks and surfboards of all types, sizes, lengths, and shapes entirely out of balsa wood, sourced here in Indonesia (though the process still requires some glassing of course).
