About the Model

A special project with Hawai’i Marine Animal Response (HMAR), Rock-It’s (very) limited edition MONKSEAL 9’0 is available only at Surfboard Factory Hawaii.

The MONKSEAL has a fin box setup with a 9” center fin so you can ride it as a single traditional log or with the side fins. It’s only available in light gray with an adorable seal insignia. Most importantly, Rock-It will be making a contribution to HMAR for every board that is sold so they can continue their good work of caring for this critical species.

The Rock-It MONKSEAL is the big cruiser that can catch the smallest of waves. You can surf this board and maintain a barbeque and ice cream diet. You can also teach practically anyone how to surf on the MONKSEAL. With three water resistant stringers, we’ve built this board to take a beating–perfect for beginners, surf schools and rental fleets.

The MONKSEAL has a tapered tail which gives it a higher level of maneuverability than other large soft tops. The MONKSEAL is made with quality construction and environmentally sensitive processes. Three marine wooden stringers are coated with an epoxy nano-coating to resist water absorption, then surrounded with a proprietary EPS foam and a color-fast & UV resistant soft top layer. The soft top has a wide texture and doesn’t require wax, although wax will improve grip.

The entire board is heat laminated with no harmful dyes, glues, resins or toxins in the production process, and manufactured in a facility that uses collected rainwater. All materials used are recyclable. All Rock-It surfboards come with a one year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Why the Sea Camo Stripes on the bottom? In 2013 University of Western Australia neurobiologist Nathan Hart & entrepreneur Hamish Jolly conducted research that indicated a zebra striped pattern was a deterrence to sharks & presented their results in a Ted Talk. The patterns disperse the shark’s ability to identify the item, and mimic non-food source items in their environment. Of course there are no guarantees, but if there is an indication something could be safer, why not do it?!
