Remedy

Board pictured: 5'10 x 18.75 x 2.45 - 27.9L

In the Spring of 2023, Shaydo came to the shop and asked for an all-purpose short board for playful and shreddable surf on the South Shore with more overall rocker. 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. 

This time Nat suggested we ignore the measurements and draw the bottom contours exclusively by eye. It was the first time I drew curves with the rocker measurements covered from view. I found it to be quite liberating to trust eyes alone. 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.

Returns Information

Custom Surfboards / The Arakawa Way
As any surfer knows, we cannot guarantee every board will be magic, but if we make a mistake designing or building your new board we will make it right.

Contact us within 15 days of receiving it and we will start another order to correct the issue and trade it out with your initial board at our expense.

Treat the original board like your own until the replacement arrives. Wax it up and surf it. We will take it back in whatever condition it is by the time you receive the new board.

How this process looks based on your location:
• Oahu - once your replacement order is ready, swing by our shop in Waialua with the original board and we will make the swap.
• Anywhere that requires shipping - We will send the second board in the same shipping method as the original order. Once the replacement is received, use the packing materials provided in the new box to repack the old board. We will provide all shipping labels and AWB's required for the return shipment. If your order requires airport pick up, we will coordinate all details so that you can do everything in one trip.

Shipping Damages
• These will have to be approached on a case by case basis depending on the product and the ability to replace or repair. Our goal is to deliver products and surfboards in perfect condition. We prefer replacing any damaged items over repair. In cases in which travel dates and locations add complexity, we will do whatever we can to make things right.

Volume Calculator (someone said we have to put this here)

The simple equation behind this tool (weight × skill level coefficient = recommended volume) doesnʻt know anything about rail contour, foil, rocker, outline, foam distribution, board types, wave type, surfer style, etc...
