Alaia trends past present and future

Once glue became available alaia boards became wider, hollow, and rockered in the nose.Narrow alaias were therefore probably only narrow due to the width of the logs availableThe next trend in alaia boards is going to be along the lines of the boards Duke rode i.e. longer, wider, and thicker with some nose rocker, this enables the rider to enjoy the benefits of white water riding to the beach,something the very narrow thin boards are not so good at.Riding the white water has been shunned however it is a useful and fun aspect of waveriding which is about to make a comeback as a surfing skill..
