well ive finally moved house!! and what a mission it was.. to celebrate i felt a new board was in order.
i made an alai, full standup model 7'x18 3/4"x3/4
to go with my other 4'2" bellyboard
here im burning in my logos with a wood burner.. this almost takes longer than the actual shaping
here you can see that beautiful curve in the planshape
the pidgeon was here.. gotta leave a mark...if only for posterity
everyone always wants to know about the alaia, are they hard to ride.. well the answer is yes.
i did get up second time on this one.. but even after 15 years of surfing i feel like a begginner when i get on this board, i tell you what though when you get that trim line going and your flying down the line the fun level is through the roof... great small day fun. stay tuned for some action shots soon.
special thanks to my good friend dick harvey for the blank, and for letting me steal this template, if you want alaia blanks
