Description

Living, surfing, and shaping on the North shore of Oahu, EA has spent over 40 years tuning his boards under the feet of the world’s best talent on and off the Tour. This particular design is all of EA’s collected knowledge and experience boiled down into the pure and refined Hawaiian step up. No frills, no fat—it doesn’t even have a name. It is just the RP, shorthand for “the rounded pin”. No other board better embodies the phrase “Proven Boards from the Proving Grounds” than this model. Our team riders choose the RP for their North Shore winter quiver or similar waves around the world. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a new convert, this is the board you want for the dream waves of consequence. BOTTOM CONTOUR: Slight single to double concave FIN RECOMMENDATIONS: Primarily Thruster but also works well as a quad. TAIL OPTIONS: Round pin Available in Black C.A.T. construction. What is Black C.A.T? Black C.A.T. (Carbon Applied Technology) is Surfboard Factory Hawaii’s latest construction, designed to improve flexibility and performance. Using a hand-laminated process with carbon-infused resin. Instead of two layers, the board uses a single layer of cloth on the deck. The result? A board that flexes, snaps back, and keeps a familiar feel underfoot while maintaining durability. Available in PU and EPS/Epoxy, Black C.A.T. can be custom ordered on any model. Built for surfers looking to push their performance further, Black C.A.T. delivers more flex than traditional full carbon fiber cloth boards. Quick, responsive, and agile – it’s performance with C.A.T. like precision.
