Arakawa Holy Moli

While the Holy Moli is designed for versatility, its performance-oriented hybrid shape is best suited for intermediate surfers looking to transition from a longboard or improve their maneuverability. Beginners might find the 48-liter volume helpful for stability, but the refined rails are tuned for more active, responsive surfing.

The board is surprisingly capable in bigger conditions. Its design reduces swing weight, which helps you maintain control and maneuver through steeper sections or barrels where a traditional, bulkier funboard might feel sluggish.

It is a true all-rounder. The mid-length outline provides the glide needed to catch smaller, softer waves with ease, while the responsive shape allows it to hold a clean line when the surf picks up and gets more powerful.

The 48 liters provide plenty of float and paddle power, making it easy to get into waves early. Because the volume is distributed through a hybrid shape rather than a traditional longboard template, you get that extra buoyancy without sacrificing the ability to carve and turn.

The Holy Moli is significantly more maneuverable. While a longboard is built for stability and nose-riding, this board is designed for a more active, performance-focused style of surfing that prioritizes speed and carving over pure glide.
