The Double Smoked is your reliable all-season shortboard tailored to the softer days, but surprisingly capable in overhead and hollow surf. Just like our factory crews’ favorite breakfast sandwich—it’s flavor has been enhanced not just once, but twice as the third generation design of Arakawa’s Bandit model. The result is the same quick, user-friendly versatility you’ve known before with a little extra umami. In other words, we gave it a little more sensitivity. Compared to our all-out performance shortboards, the Double-Smoked has a relaxed rocker, added width, and a full outline to make it an excellent paddler with glide and maneuverability. This daily driver loves the South Shore of Oahu and beach breaks.

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.
