Aloha Everyone. My name is Noah Shimabukuro. I grew up on Maui, and Maui holds a special place in my heart. Mahalo for all of your recent messages to check the status of my family on Maui. Fortunately, my family is doing okay. However, many of our friends are in need due to the recent fires there. Therefore, in collaboration with my sponsors, Surfboards by Donald Takayama and Noah Ka Oi Surf, we are raffling this beautiful board (9’6” DT 60’s model) to help raise funds for families/friends who were affected by the Maui wildfires. We are selling 100 raffle tickets ($50 each), and you can buy as many tickets as you like. We are hoping to raise a minimum of $5,000 to support as many families/friends as possible. Full transparency, we will be donating 100% of the proceeds (not just profits) directly to families/friends who were affected by the fires. We will use the HelpMauiRise list, Gofundme accounts, social media accounts, and being in touch with the Maui community to help us verify eligible recipients.

The winner of the surfboard (and donation details) will be announced here and by email once we reach our $5K amount. The winner of the surfboard will be responsible to cover the packing/shipping costs (and custom taxes if the board shipped outside of the US).

Special thank you to all of the Maui firefighters, first responders, and volunteers that have been helping the Maui community. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone on Maui who have been affected.
