Eric Arakawa Surfboards Jackpot Surfboard

While it is engineered for elite competition, the Jackpot performs well in typical beach and reef breaks. Its design balances aggressive responsiveness with enough flow to handle varied conditions, making it versatile enough for daily use if you are an advanced surfer.

The pronounced tail rocker is primarily designed for barrel riding and tight maneuvers in the pocket. In very small or weak surf, you might find it requires more active pumping to maintain speed compared to a flatter, dedicated groveler.

Yes, the Jackpot is available with either FCS II or Futures fin systems. You can specify your preference when ordering to match the fins you already own.

The choice depends on your preferred feel. A squash or thumb tail offers a good balance of release and hold, while a swallow or moon tail can provide more bite in turns. If you are unsure, the standard squash tail is the most versatile option for the Jackpot's design.

The deep single concave generates significant speed by channeling water under the board, while the double concave through the tail adds control and makes it easier to transition from rail to rail. This combination gives you both the drive needed for speed and the precision required for high-performance surfing.
