I have been riding Minami's for many years and could not be happier with every board I ever received from Glenn. Both my kids also ride his boards and love them. Amazing boards from an awesome person (who rips by the way if you don't already know). Minami's are the best and you will not be disappointed.

Ordered the Blaze and it’s a super awesome board. Super responsive and loose. Great board in the pocket but could also blast through flat sections. Glenn is really knowledgeable and humble. Really appreciate how he hand shapes his boards. Thanks Glenn.

Been riding Glenn’s boards since 1988, he is a Hawaii surf treasure for all ages!
