Every board has a story

December 04, 2011 | Words By:

David Whitney and Andrew Rice of Kenai Productions are excited to announce their latest HD video project, EVERY BOARD HAS A STORY (EBHS), a feature length documentary about the evolution of surf boards and innovators personal journeys to develop more environmentally friendly boards.


Kenai Productions, a Maui-based production company and member of the Maui Film Alliance, has over 20 years experience in all aspects of HD video and film production. EVERY BOARD HAS A STORY is Kenai’s debut feature-length production, and has already garnered the support of many industry veterans.

Kenai is seeking pre-production funding through Kickstarter.com, a crowd funding website that facilitates investment pledges from the public for all kinds of great projects. “Investors” can pledge $10 to $5,000 toward EBHS, and will not be charged until the full amount of $12,950 is raised in the specified amount of time. With less than 60 days to reach their goal, every pledge counts, and you can help.

Where does the money go?
PHASE I
