They continued to ride and buy boards, always talking about making their own. Cecil bought a board and shortly after it was delaminating, the board's manufacturer wouldn’t do anything about the obvious warranty issues so he decided it was time to look into making boards. When talking with a buddy who was friends with a surfboard shaper in San Diego named Chris Ruddy.
In the summer of ’76 Chris’ dad got stationed in Hawaii through his service in the US Navy. As a ten year old, he was living in the Navy Housing close to Ewa Beach on the south west side of Oahu. That was all it took to get hooked. By 1990 he had shaped 100 boards. In 1992 he bought a business license and started Ukulele Surfboards in San Diego. Since then, he has shaped some 30,000 boards mostly under the Ukulele label, but he also had the opportunity to shape for Dewey Weber, Dive n Surf, Bear, Surf Ride, and Toes on The Nose to name just a few. Chris has been shaping surfboards since the late 80’s and with this much experience we knew that we had the perfect person.
The passion that Cecil and Matt locked in on all those years ago and Chris’s extensive knowledge of the surf industry has brought together a company that truly understands how forced water flows affect speed and control, the difference between the inconsistency of ocean wave surfing and a somewhat more stationary and more consistent wave style that is created in the boating world. All this has helped us create these amazing wakesurf boards.
I think it's time that you trust the process and see what a lifetime of passion and over 30 years of shaping experience looks like, or better yet, what it feels like. Our goal is simple, provide the best riding boards and back it up with an unbelievable customer experience as long as you own your MŌNŌ wakesurf board.
