It had a generous helping of volume in the nose and low, soft rails that concluded in a flyer swallow tail. There was also a vee concave through the tail to help with lift and squirt off the bottom. From my first wave it was evident that this board had no issues generating speed.

The Legend of Dane Kealoha
Dane Kealoha wasn’t just a surfer—he was a true Hawaiian powerhouse, a cultural icon with the same spirit and strength as Duke Kahanamoku. In the late '70s and early '80s, Dane’s explosive style and incredible speed made him stand out, quickly taking him up the ranks as a world title contender. With his muscular build and unmatched drive, Dane embodied Hawaiian pride, and it was inspiring to witness the impact he had on fans and fellow surfers.
The Birth of a Surfing Icon
In 1983, while he was leading the professional surfing ratings, Dane reached out to me to shape boards that could handle his intense style. I knew these boards had to do more than perform, they had to match Dane’s fierce personality. I created each board with my signature fluoro spray, a bold design that dominated the lineups. These boards were true works of art, meticulously airbrushed to reflect Dane’s vibrant energy and dedication. They became legendary not only for their look but for the power and agility they brought to Dane’s surfing, perfectly suited for his high-intensity approach.
A Legacy Interrupted but Not Forgotten
That same year, a dispute between surfing organisations denied Dane the world title he rightly deserved, a tragic twist in an otherwise stellar career. But his legacy lived on, marked by these bright, unmistakable boards that symbolised the golden era of surfing and Dane’s bold, uncompromising spirit.
The Rediscovery of a Classic
Years later, one of Dane’s original boards was found proudly displayed in the UK—a testament to the lasting appeal of these iconic boards. This rediscovery sparked renewed demand, and just before Dane’s passing, I had the chance to reconnect with him to bring his legacy back to life. Each limited-edition replica is crafted in Dane’s honour, with a portion of sales going to his family to keep his impact alive.
Crafted for Legends
The Dane Kealoha Legendary Replica is more than a board; it’s a piece of surf history. From the iconic NEV fluoro spray to the powerful twin-fin design, every detail is a tribute to Dane’s fast, fearless approach to life and surfing. Whether you’re taking it out on the waves or displaying it on your wall, this board captures the style, power, and pure aloha that Dane brought to everything he did.
