More than 400 individually crafted pieces of empress wood make up the 12-foot, 9-inch Makaha surfboard, designed by New Zealander Roy Stewart. "Duke Kahanamoku described riding Castle Surf in Hawaii on this type of board—the olo board, once reserved for royalty—as the greatest experience of his life," says Stewart. "The board is a kindly guide to beginners yet eminently capable of taking experienced surfers to wonderful new places." $20,000.
