ARAKAWA (HOLY MOLI)

Draw 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.
