You never know what you’re going to walk into when going into a surf shop where they actually shape. Eric and Sean are the nicest guys you could ask for, they are both incredibly helpful and no ego. Easily one of the best surf shops in Hawaii.

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable service. Arakawa is by far the best local board shop around. And their rental system with AwayCo is unbeatable. 10/10
At Eric Arakawa Designs it is our goal to get you stoked. There is nothing like that magic board that gets you psyched to surf no matter what the waves are like. For us, “custom surfboard” means more than being able to choose a model, your favorite color airbrush, fin set-up, or other basic option. It means that this craft is specially tailored for one unique surfer to complement their fitness, style, and the waves they surf. Max performance or max glide, each board is individually designed for the customer by EA. We use the top materials in surfboard construction, our boards are personal, and they are built to perform. It is our goal to get you that magic board.
