Creating Designer Surfboards with Passion and Precision

Three boards all hand painted by Kim McDonald.

Discover the Oceania Series: From Maui to Your Home

Inspired by the vibrant life on the island of Maui, I find immense joy in blending organic shapes with Polynesian symbolism to capture the mesmerizing power of the ocean and the exquisite allure of tropical island flowers. Each surfboard I create is a unique expression of my enthusiasm to celebrate the beauty of nature.

Creating these works of art on world-class surfboards is not just a profession for me; it's a labor of love. Each piece is individually crafted by master shaper David Gott, whose expertise ensures that every board is of the highest quality. The surfboards come in various sizes: gun boards range from 6'10" to 7'6", while long boards measure 7'8".

The Oceania Series surfboards are truly one-of-a-kind art pieces. They can be mounted on the wall as captivating wall art or displayed in a floor stand as stunning sculptures. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these surfboards are designed to elevate the ambiance of homes and offices alike.

Explore the Oceania Series and bring a piece of Maui's vibrant life and Polynesian heritage into your space.

These hand painted surfboards are all hand shaped on Maui by local shaper, David Gott. Kim paints them in the raw foam form, then they are sent back to David for the final glassing and sanding stages. Each surfboard is a one of a kind piece you are sure to enjoy for years to come.
