What a gift! I gotta do that! That's how we all should've got our first board.
Thanks a lot! Anyway I can help let me know!
Shape it by hand with a whatever you can find. If you're just making one board a surform may be the cheapest way to go. I use a scrub plane then other planes to smooth it out. Get paulownia if...
You guys are ridiculous... You could use a 5' surf leash and attach it your ankle. If you have two handplanes you'll need two leashes. You don't want to use a boggie-boarding leash cause it'll get in...
Keep it clean. That's what I always say...
To each his own.
Yeah, no good.
It wasn't big, but it was fun. We had some fast lines out here in Wrightsville Beach. A few barrels too...
If someone does something nice you should thank them. If someone goes out of their way and does something awesome for you a tip would be a great way to tell em you're super grateful.
I'm trying to get some feedback on what people think about alaias. It seems like the general concensus is that these things are tough to ride, paddle poorly and can be very frustraiting. Are they...
Yeah, there's all kinds of interpretations out there but few actual replicas. That's one thing bugs me about the whole alaia thing... that's why I stick to the original designs. As you may have...

I gotta say it's not really that hard. You don't have to be super good to ride one. Any able surfer can figure it out after a little while. Not too good if you're impatient though... Anyway, thanks...

I'm an alaia rider/builder and just haven't seen many others. I ride mine every session no matter what and prefer it over everything else. Even after 15 years of surfing "modern" boards, I'm totally...

So, peole just like the way their thrusters ride? I can understand that. That's just too much waiting around for me. I know some guys can destroy some small surf on a thruster, but I don't think...
