Bizia Surf in Wahiawā offers surfboards made entirely of albizia, an invasive tree that’s common in Hawai’i. When co-owner Joey Valenti was going to school at UH Mānoa, he studied the efficacy of building with albizia. His thesis project was building a house entirely made of albizia wood that was displayed near the corner of Metcalf Street and University Avenue from 2018 to 2021.
