Shapers

Wade Tokoro

Wade’s boards are some of the most popular here in Hawaii, being ridden by legions of shortboarders and big name touring pros who come to the North Shore every winter season. Some bigger names seen riding his boards include Dusty Payne, Mick Fanning, Sunny Garcia, Jamie O’Brien, Julian Wilson, and of course our favorite WSL warrior, Keanu Asing. Tokoro, who hails from the east side of Oahu, is also one of our favorite surfers as well as one of our favorite shapers. If Pipe is on, chances are you'll find Wade cooling off in the barrel.
