That method is suppose to be random, but there is no telling what the actual algorithm looks like to drop pieces from the idol. It would probably be easier to buy them from the Merchant's house, just by buying the bottom shelf items.

There are also lots of random drawing pieces including surf station blueprints in the chest on the second island. Of course, that would require a build up of keys. I think that is one step that will slow a lot of people down.

If you have surf stations on the first island, you can move them over. They will still count for the quest.
