The two nineteen-year olds have spent the past year developing, designing and building the idea off Beaulieu’s successful senior project last spring at Westfield High School. The product has become quite popular among teenagers and college students, along with professional athletes through instagram (@kahunas_), twitter and other social media platforms. The boys hope to continue their success with new designs, future orders & continued interest amongst fraternities, surf schools and beyond.

Thus far, the boys have been successful with local & online sales as well as getting waitstaff in restaurants, bars, drinking establishments and athletes across the country to represent their product. To learn more about Kahuna’s, visit their site at: https://kahunas.life
