So that every surfer and every surfing community would have opportunity to know and follow Jesus.falseepisodichttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/shaped-for-more-what-really-matters-with-eric-arakawa-the-christian-surfers-podcast--72129625
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.

This episode is filled with wisdom, humility, laughter, and profound truth for surfers, Christians, creatives, and anyone wrestling with purpose, calling, or identity.“Don’t fear failure. Fear succeeding in the things that don’t matter.” -  Eric Arakawa

There, surfing, church, and mission life became deeply intertwined as his father helped grow a movement connecting surfers to Jesus. The conversation also reflects on Cheyne’s years traveling the world on the QS, living out of suitcases, chasing waves, and eventually stepping back into the family business in Florida. What was meant to be temporary became a long-term calling as he helped steward Island Water Sports into what it is today, now expanded across multiple locations. He also shares the impact of loss after the passing of his father in South Africa, and how his family has continued to live out faith through ministry, education, and service.

Through it all, Cheyne reflects on identity, ambition, grief, and what it means to live with an eternal perspective - seeing surfing not as the destination, but as a tool to serve people and share Jesus.

This is a story of legacy, faith, surf culture, and learning to trust God through every season. Huge thanks to @almondsurfboards and @trestlespropertymanagement for supporting this episode.

Though surrounded by faith, he admits he had to reach a place where he personally questioned everything - from the existence of God to the authenticity of his upbringing.What followed was a raw and unfiltered season of rebellion, distance from faith, and searching for meaning in all the wrong places. But even in the midst of chaos, God was not absent.

Through unexpected encounters, conviction, and moments that couldn’t be explained away, Reed describes how God slowly pulled him back into relationship with Him in a real and personal way.From there, everything changed.Reed shares how a Christian Surfers Bible given to him years earlier became a turning point — eventually leading him to discover Christian Surfers again, pick up the phone, and step into a full-circle calling that now sees him serving full-time as the media and storytelling lead for CS USA.Today, Reed and his wife Priscilla serve together as a family on mission, using media, photography, and storytelling to share the gospel through surf culture and global ministry - while raising their kids and trusting God for provision along the way.This episode is a reminder that faith isn’t inherited - it’s discovered. And sometimes the very thing you run from becomes the thing God uses to bring you home.

Whether you’ve wrestled with belief, walked away from faith, or are trying to figure out what’s real, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to trust that God is still writing your story.Huge thanks to @trestlespropertymanagement and @almondsurfboards for helping make these podcast episodes happen.

Her journey to this point is a powerful testament to God’s timing: though she grew up in the church, it wasn’t until a season of personal surrender - praying “send me anywhere” - that she fully committed her life to Jesus. Shortly after, her local church highlighted FCA, and doors swung open for her to bring the Gospel into the action sports world.

In this conversation, we explore how FCA - a ministry historically known for football fields, basketball courts, and mainstream stick & ball sports - is now intentionally reaching every athlete, including surfers, skaters, and outdoor enthusiasts. Hannah shares how this expansion led to natural, kingdom-minded partnerships with ministries like Christian Surfers, working together to run Surf Church outreaches, serve at contests, and disciple young athletes.

In this raw and real episode, host Mark Sawyer-Chu sits down with former pro surfer, speaker, and brother in Christ, Will Tant, at his new home in Flagler Beach. Together, they reflect on Will’s powerful journey from the rebellious currents of surf culture to the steady anchor of faith in Jesus.

Will opens up about growing up in the tight-knit surf town of Flagler, the deep bond he shared with his brother Tommy, and the devastating loss that turned his world upside down. He candidly shares how grief led him to wrestle with God, eventually finding peace—not through perfection but through grace and community.

From his early surf film days to giving up the sport he loved, being diagnosed with a heart condition, and slowly returning to both surfing and faith, Will’s story is raw, real, and redemptive. This episode is a moving testimony to the power of Christian community, the importance of belonging, and the unwavering hope found in Christ—even in the darkest waves.

From his early days as a young surfer in Huntington Beach to becoming the owner of Degree33 Surfboards and a passionate mentor in the Christian surfing community, Trevor’s journey is inspiring to say the least.

After being introduced to Christian Surfers, Trevor experienced a powerful transformation—but later walked away from faith for nearly a decade. Hitting rock bottom through substance abuse and personal struggles, he reached a moment of desperation. Yet, God met him in that place, leading him back to Jesus and a renewed life with his now-wife, Darcy.

Trevor’s career took him from the auto parts industry to launching Groundswell Supply and eventually rebuilding Degree33, making it a leader in high-performance surfboards. Through it all, he has remained committed to investing in the next generation, helping raise over $350,000 for youth mentorship through the Hway Challenge.

From sponsorships to struggles, success to surrender, Trevor reflects on the defining moments that shaped his life journey.

From his first exposure to the organization at age 11 in Costa Rica, when he received surf gear and stickers from a visiting mission team, to becoming an instrumental figure in re-establishing the Santa Barbara chapter in 2003, Pastor Dennis reflects on how God’s plans unfolded in unexpected ways.

In this conversation, Pastor Dennis discusses the origin and purpose of the Surf Church Collective, a global movement that emerged organically as Christian Surfers members around the world began planting churches to serve surfers in areas where the gospel was not present. Launched in 2016, the collective has become a hub for collaboration and mutual support, helping to plant and grow churches that are disciple-focused, rather than just focusing on traditional church planting.

From his first exposure to the organization at age 11 in Costa Rica, when he received surf gear and stickers from a visiting mission team, to becoming an instrumental figure in re-establishing the Santa Barbara chapter in 2003, Pastor Dennis reflects on how God’s plans unfolded in unexpected ways.

In this conversation, Pastor Dennis discusses the origin and purpose of the Surf Church Collective, a global movement that emerged organically as Christian Surfers members around the world began planting churches to serve surfers in areas where the gospel was not present. Launched in 2016, the collective has become a hub for collaboration and mutual support, helping to plant and grow churches that are disciple-focused, rather than just focusing on traditional church planting.

This week Mark sits down with Mike Mulkey an inspiring author, surfer, and devoted believer. Mike’s connection to Christian Surfers began through David and Amy Nehrig, the U.S. National Directors, who introduced him to the Christian Surfers podcast.

Mike’s book, Surfing in Heaven, delves into the profound topic of eternity, challenging us to focus on what truly matters. Inspired by personal experiences, including conversations with a terminally ill friend and the faith-filled story of surfer Ben Kelly, Mike offers a fresh perspective on life’s brevity and the hope of heaven.

With deep roots in the surfing community and a faith journey that began at 32, Mike’s story weaves together surfing, scripture, and eternity.

Growing up in a commune in Mendocino, California, Benji was introduced to the ocean at a young age, surfing alongside his father and uncle. Benji’s uncle, John Severson, was the founder of Surfer Magazine. This early connection to the water was the catalyst for a lifelong passion. By eight years old, Benji was already riding waves in San Clemente, a place that would later become the heart of his surfing journey.

Together, with his brother, Benj founded the Severson brand, blending their love for surfing with artistic expression. As his career evolved, Benji found himself working with industry giants like HIC, Rusty, and Nike, where he played a crucial role in launching Nike 6.0. Yet, it was his faith and dedication to his community that truly defined him, turning his shop into a ministry and a beacon of light in San Clemente, California.

From his brief time on the QS to the loss of his mentor and former CS conference speaker (Pastor Sumo Sato), who asked him to take over his church, and enduring intense health struggles around the birth of his first child, Nate’s story reflects how, even through the greatest trials, we can see God’s goodness. In fact, it is during these stretching seasons that we truly become more like Him.
