I really love my new surfboard, an Avis. They must have some kind of wave magnet technology embedded as it catches everything. I also think it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing boards I've ever seen. The whole process was a joy. Eric Arakawa himself spoke with me a couple times and helpfully explained the whole process. I didn't have much knowledge on shapes and glassing, but Eric made everything approachable and his recommendations were spot on. The team and shop are also very pleasant.

These guys are by far the most professional surfboard making operation out there. Having Eric provide his personal expertise in designing a custom was incredible. Once I got the board, I could tell from the first bottom turn that it rips. 10/10 would recommend

If you're on the North Shore, you MUST stop by the factory! You'll feel like a kid in a candy shop. Plus, they have a massive quiver of demo boards you can check out for 24 hours for FREE. Who else offers that!? The swell came down during my trip so I demo'd a prototype twin fin and had a blast. Last time I visited them I bought an RP and they shipped it to Florida. Arrived in perfect condition. I make sure to stop by every time I come to the NS. Best boards in the world.
