THE HISTORY OF ERIC ARAKAWA SURFBOARDS 

THIS BOARD

Draw old School lines across little peelers or thread a hefty barrel with this modern hybrid design. Pure glide in small waves, clean carving lines, and big barrels — this model is made for it all. The mid-length design was conceived back in 2016 after Sean Arakawa had fallen in love with his 8’0 Avis one summer. He continued to ride the 8’0 funboard into our winter season on the North Shore. As he pushed it into larger waves, he found he wanted something as fun and effortless as the Avis, but with less board to swing around and an outline more tuned for barrels and waves with power. What resulted was the Holy Moli, drawing inspiration from the Hawaiian name for the seafaring Albatross and shear stoke. This board knows no bounds. Typical length range: 6'6 - 7'6.

BOTTOM CONTOUR: Slight single concave to vee
FIN RECOMMENDATIONS: Thruster or quad
TAIL OPTIONS: Round pin

THE HISTORY OF ERIC ARAKAWA SURFBOARDS 

THIS BOARD

Living, surfing, and shaping on the North shore of Oahu, EA has spent over 40 years tuning his boards under the feet of the world’s best talent on and off the Tour. This particular design is all of EA’s collected knowledge and experience boiled down into the pure and refined Hawaiian step up. No frills, no fat—it doesn’t even have a name. It is just the RP, shorthand for “the rounded pin”. No other board better embodies the phrase “Proven Boards from the Proving Grounds” than this model.

Our team riders choose the RP for their North Shore winter quiver or similar waves around the world. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a new convert, this is the board you want for the dream waves of consequence.

BOTTOM CONTOUR: Slight single to double concave
FIN RECOMMENDATIONS: Primarily Thruster but also works well as a quad.
TAIL OPTIONS: Round pin

THE HISTORY OF ERIC ARAKAWA SURFBOARDS 

THIS BOARD

"After the Silmaril, our next goal was to work on a squash tail design that performed in weak, small waves. In November of 2022, Alonso Correa asked us to start developing a performance short board design for him to compete with in small waves for the 2023 season on the QS. After 3 months of testing and design modifications, we dialed this one in and sent it home with Alonso. Straight out of the gates, this board started reaping heat wins in South and Central America. Similar in approach to the Silmaril, this one is just fine-tuned for waves that lack in power. It's deep single concave with a slightly straighter tail (exit curve) that maintains speed out of turns, and carries through fat sections. It's easy to ride, and although it is primarily designed for open face waves, it feels sparky when hitting the lip. The lively pop when weighting and unweighting make it a great board for boosting airs."
