Customers consistently praise the owners, Dave and Rhonda, for their dedicated workmanship, personalized attention, and genuine focus on customer satisfaction across all inventory.

The Good
Customers overwhelmingly praise the high quality, performance, and enjoyment derived from King's custom-made boards (SUPs, race boards, foils). Specific praise is directed towards Dave and Rhonda for their expertise, genuine interest, quality workmanship, personalized attention, and excellent customer service during the design and building process. The custom design process is highly valued, resulting in high-performance, fun products tailored to individual needs.
Things to Consider
A significant concern was raised regarding a custom board warping/delaminating on the hull, which the owner attributed to excessive heat exposure (specifically mentioning a black hull color). The customer felt the response was dismissive, suggesting a potential design flaw with dark colors that absorb more heat, despite careful use. Buyers are warned against choosing black boards due to this reported durability issue.
