Aku Bone - Rake
The history of aku, or skipjack tuna, in Hawaii is deeply intertwined with the islands' culture, economy, and sustenance. For centuries, Hawaiian fishermen skillfully navigated the vast Pacific waters, employing traditional techniques like palu ahi (chumming) to lure and catch aku. This prized fish was not just a source of nourishment but also a symbol of community, as its abundance brought people together for feasts and celebrations. Today, aku remains a vital part of Hawaii's culinary identity, featured in local dishes like poke and sashimi. Its relevance extends beyond the plate, serving as a living connection to the ancestral practices that have sustained Hawaiian communities for generations, and a reminder of the importance of preserving these traditions in the face of modern challenges.
Craftsman Lance Racoma took his love for the blue and white aku and meshed the colors together with his mastery of concrete, stone, and epoxy to create this ocean inspired fin.
Rake — Where modern design meets effortless glide. Engineered with more rake than our Classic model, this fin is the go-to choice for midlength enthusiasts and those riding smaller longboards. The increased rake ensures a fluid, sweeping turn capability, enhancing your board's responsiveness and agility. Whether you're carving tight arcs or cruising on open faces, the Rake delivers a dynamic, smooth ride that keeps you connected to the wave. Perfect for surfers looking to elevate their performance with a fin that offers both hold and maneuverability.AVAILABLE OPTIONS :Classic / 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5 Rake / 8.5 Chunk / 10.5 *Reference photos in classic template
