I wish you could make your boards here in hawaii instead of china. Obviously for a number of reasons.

Agreed, so do we, and we have seriously looked into it and will continue working on it. We do offer custom boards that are made here in Hawaii but due to the high cost of rent and labor, the price is substantially higher if you order the same quality construction. For most of our customers the lower price point of our production boards really matters when it comes to making the purchase, so our focus is on providing the best value for the customer. When we are able to offer the same value by making boards here in Hawaii, we will and that is our goal.
