Manukai: Birds of the Sea

AllStar athletes Keith & Sally's Manukai Handboard company takes off! Ford Stallsmith chosen brand advocate!

PROUD MOMMY MOMENT HERE!

Our son, Ford Stallsmith was asked to be the first Manukai Handboards brand advocate! Manukai is a sustainable handboard surf company started by Big Island artists Sally Lundburg & Keith Tallett, in an effort to 'preserve our cultural roots, care for our environment, and express gratitude and aloha'. They produce handboards made of disgarded surfboards and wetsuits! And we're proud to say Keith and Sally are also CFAS Athletes!

They sent Ford a letter explaining they chose Ford because "of your positive attitude, your skill in the water, and your efforts in surf videography. In our interaction with you in the last year, we've seen you help out and take care of your family, show gratitude to your parents, express a positive, sincere attitude to our family and others, and work hard in school, in your community, and in play. We feel you embody the Hawaiian values of aloha, malama, mahalo, kokua, and kuleana, through your words and actions, and we would be honored if you would consider being and advocate for Manukai Handboards!"
