3 months ago
Independent surfboard designer Eric Arakawa reflects on finding the path and passion that unintentionally led him to become a world renowned surfboard craftsman.
In this short form profile, VitaBrevisFilms interviews Eric Arakawa for the third exploration of our PROFESSIONal series. Shot on location on the North Shore of Oahu, Eric gives a candid account of the people who both inspired and guided him. From the novice fabrication of his first board, to shaping the late Andy Irons last custom job, Eric shares his hope to pass his knowledge on to his young employees and those around him.
An exciting project for the entire VBF crew to have the opportunity to capture the essence of Eric's inspiration.

Thanks for posting.
love it so much.
Thanks for checking it out.. we shot it on two Red one mx cameras.. There are also a few 5d and ex1 shots peppered in as well.
I loved it!
I particularly like the videos that show old tools and the guys that use them; here are a couple of nice ones I found on custom guitar making; both are very good:
