{"product_id":"stun-gun","title":"Stun Gun","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvan Valiere and maybe Reef McIntosh—do not remember exactly who—some team riders wanted more paddle power in a shorter package. 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","url":"https:\/\/arakawasurfboards.com\/products\/stun-gun","provider":"Arakawa Surfboards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
