About Us

 

We are a family run business and take our passions for art and surfing seriously.  We started Uhuru as a way to put our creativity toward the things that we love; surfing, the ocean and the beach lifestyle.  We do it because it's fun and we enjoy it, period.  In that very sense we have already achieved our success.

A lover of reggae music and culture has found his passion in 'mowing foam' (surfboard shaping).  A firm believer that the soul of surfing rests in the hands of craftsmen and not toward the current trend of overseas mass production.  Support your local shaper!
