Donald Takayama

hey everyone, i just heard that Donald Takayama is thinking about retiring in the next year or so. has anybody heard anything about this? -steve

Yep, he mentioned that to me when I saw him in July. Doesn’t mean you won’t be able to buy one of his quality boards, and if you want to share some waves with him you might have to go quite a bit further away. Have you gone in and browsed his retail shop in Oceanside recently? Syd (I assume) did a great job putting that together, it is hard to walk out of there. I had to go back a second time.

He’s going to Australia. Better stock up.

i also heard that he’s moving to australia today. and yes, i’ve been to his shop. its the best surfshop i’ve ever been to, i didnt want to leave. i thought about just pitching a tent and camping out for a while -steve
