The challenge was to see how far we could push the rocker without compromising speed and flow. It seems a bit counter intuitive to take a high rocker approach to weak or small waves, but a long time ago I had a model called the Viper with a lot of rocker that was surprisingly quick and forgiving. It would self correct when you over committed the rail making it easy to ride, easy to surf. That was our goal: super reactive, speed generating, and yet easy to surf. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis time Nat suggested we ignore the measurements and draw the bottom contours exclusively by eye.

I was encouraged after the first prototype performed about 95% of the goal. All it took was a little feedback and one slight modification to the second version, and Shaydo said we hit the mark. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"arakawasurfboards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54452098334793,"sku":"","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/8074\/9897\/files\/Remedy_510_1066867_DSC6028_6f94c3e7-3e6c-4e6c-8825-9c1cf0d22d3e.png?v=1764968077"},{"product_id":"soop-bowl","title":"Soop Bowl","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter the Silmaril, our next goal was to work on a squash tail design that performed in weak, small waves.

Pure glide in small waves, clean carving lines, and big barrels — this model is made for it all. The design was conceived back in 2016 after Sean Arakawa had fallen in love with his 8’0 Avis that 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.
