The Arakawa RP is a super solid board.
🤙🤙🤙
Got any more info on it? I just ordered one and super stoked to take it out to north shore this year
@@jakehardy5997 My best friend has a 6'10" I had a 7'2" both of us have loved them in big Central Californian beach breaks.
Hey! I love the content. I enjoy how you jumped right into the action instead of having a ten minute bio. You’re becoming a better interviewer!
🔥🔥🔥
Had an Arakawa around 06 from my brother's friend that he sponsored. I LOVED that board I don't remember anything about it other than it was a 6'0 squash. It would go good in firing slabs, double overhead makaha, even mushy beach breaks. Stopped surfing for about 15 years and just got back in, I've been getting pangs but always wanted to go to the arakawa factory and ask about it since I don't seen my brothers friend too often anymore.
For sure you should go in, they're a friendly bunch, I'm sure he would be happy to help 🤙
Thumbs up before listening 😅
🤙🤙🤙
shit yeah
