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 “rounded pin”. No other board better embodies the phrase “Proven Boards from the Proving Grounds” than this model.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur team riders choose the RP for their North Shore winter quiver or similar waves around the world.

This came as guys were riding their step ups shorter and shorter in bigger waves. Slabs like Teahupoo and first reef Pipe were definitely an inspiration since surfers wanted to get in as early as possible, but did not want a really long rail line once they were navigating a square barrel. We essentially just cut down their favorite RP about 3-4 inches and redrew the front end. The natural result is a wider nose and lower entry rocker by subtraction of that last few inches. It also features a deck slightly flatter than the RP and a subtle beak nose. The design change was motivated by waves of consequence, but it turns out that paddle power is great in waves of no consequence as well. Cold water specialists also find a connection with this step up in big lineups akin to Sunset Beach. Whereas the RP is our rock-hard prize fighter with 0% body fat, the Stun Gun is our sleeper. It might look soft, but get it in the ring and it is anything but. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"arakawasurfboards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54452114161737,"sku":"","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/8074\/9897\/files\/Stun_Gun_74_1045499_DSC5940_f74ab95f-3b42-4c6f-8c6e-162d894320f5.png?v=1764968347"},{"product_id":"holy-moli","title":"Holy Moli","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDraw old school lines across little peelers or thread a hefty barrel with this modern hybrid design. This is our take on the modern mid-length. The foil and tail of this design reveals its pedigree in the tradition of Hawaiian rounded pins, but its length and outline gives it an advantage in small surf. 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. Typical length range: 6'6 - 7'6.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"arakawasurfboards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54452121731145,"sku":"","price":795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/8074\/9897\/files\/Holy_Moli_66_1042672__DSC5944_cc4fb860-15a9-4471-85d5-2c7fba673eac.png?v=1764730305"}],"url":"https:\/\/arakawasurfboards.com\/collections\/step-up.oembed","provider":"Arakawa Surfboards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
