Hukis are pretty much made to order, and I assume, are built at Jude's
shop in Sacramento, CA. As far as I know, Jude is the only dealer.
Versus boats mass produced in China with worldwide distribution.
His boats are excellent and can compete with any ski out there.
His newer redesigned skis are ,I feel, a big improvement over his older models. Paddled his new S1-XL and really liked it.
In my very, very humble opinion, Jude's Huki S1-R is the best 19 inch surf ski ever built, and I've paddled most of them. There is no 19 inch boat with better primary and secondary stability. His boats are light, fast and they dance on the waves.
