Barry Kanaiaupuni

Barry Kanaiaupuni is a legendary North Shore shaper and surfer. He ruled the peak at Sunset Beach in the early 70′s and was an amazing contest surfer as well. He won the Pro Classic Trials twice and became the most popular invitee to the Duke Kahanamoku Classic. He learned to shape under Donald Takayama at a early age and later worked for Gordan & Smith and Phil Edwards Surfboards. Below are some great examples of BK’s boards.
