Takayama Prince Kuhio Glider - Tuflite V-Tech - FCS II - 2 + 1 Fin

Donald’s favorite glider! This Hawaiian Cross Country glider was inspired by the outer reefs on Oahu’s South Shore. Although this board is long, it is still capable of noseriding and turning like a board shorter in size. It has a DT-1 rocker, so anyone used to riding other Takayama’s will feel very comfortable on the Prince Kuhio. The medium rocker helps make paddling easy and surfing user-friendly. Also included are Donald’s patented 60/40 rails and tucked under edge, making this board very forgiving in turns. Available in a 3 fin setup capable of riding as a single fin or 2+1 setup depending on the surfer’s style.
