Since 2007, Xylem Surfcraft has been creating traditional Hawaiian Alaia and Paipo surfboards. With the addition of a new kind of board with a modern twist, the “Srfdord,” there’s a board for all kinds of riders of any skill level. Josh Hail, owner and shaper of Xylem Surfcraft, began this adventure on the Big Island of Hawaii barefoot under a tent in the backyard. Looking for a different way to enjoy the surf? That’s what Xylem Surfcraft is all about.
