From the CS in July: Christian Surfers Indonesia christiansurfersiargao Christian Surfers Taiwan 크리스천서퍼스코리아 CSK

This time last year we were meeting together as a global Christian Surfers tribe in Bali, Indonesia for our International Gathering - and this was the first time many of us met the crews active in these APAC nations. 🙌🏻

Since then we praise God for bringing more surfers into His CS family, for new leaders stepping up, for awesome National Gatherings, regular meet ups on the beach for Bible Studies and prayer, for new friendships developing and for amazing blessings and also many new CS groups starting in new locations!

Let’s keep praying for the crew in these beautiful nations… even better get along and meet them all at the next APAC Area Gathering in Japan in September!! Shonan area September 9-12th.

Get connected, get more info, and request the digital version of the 2026 prayer calendar 🙏🏻- see links in bio or DM us.

Shaped For More | What Really Matters With Eric Arakawa | The Christian Surfers Podcast

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of the Christian Surfers Podcast, Cyle Meyers sits down with legendary Hawaiian surfboard shaper Eric Arakawa — the man behind boards ridden by some of surfing’s greatest names, including Michael Ho and multiple world champions.
But beyond shaping surfboards, Eric shares the deeper story of how God shaped his life.
Growing up in Hawaii, Eric fell in love with surfing at a young age, riding waves on inflatable mattresses before eventually shaping his own surfboards out of necessity. What began as a childhood obsession would later become one of the most respected shaping careers in surfing history.

In this episode, Eric opens up about:
• Learning to shape boards alongside his father in Hawaii
• Working with surfing legends like Michael Ho
• The intense pressure and emotional highs and lows of shaping world-class surfboards
• Wrestling with identity, insecurity, and self-worth throughout his career
• Why he nearly walked away from surfing completely
• His powerful testimony of coming to know Jesus as a rebellious teenager
• Why surfing can either become an idol or a tool for God’s kingdom
• What it means to trust Christ fully and live for eternity
Eric vulnerably shares how years of comparison, pressure, and performance left him searching for purpose beyond success and how Jesus ultimately transformed the way he viewed surfing, identity, and life itself.

“Don’t fear failure. Fear succeeding in the things that don’t matter.” -  Eric Arakawa
