I would give 10 stars if I could. My son is fairly new to surfing and was looking to buy another board. Keone was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Customer service was exemplary! I'm from California and was so impressed by the genuine kindness offered to my son and me. I highly recommend Downing Hawaii.
