How'd that puppy ride? I made one out of pine but was stupid and sealed it with polly instead of oil. It now serves as a table haha.
Its never been ridden, being glassed tomorrow. I never rode one. I am a hp shorty guy so I dont usually ride alternative shapes too often. Randy Budd shaped the board. I believe their is some Alaskan pine, local cedar and some other species in there. I will ask him again about the woods.
Randy teaches a class at the Tuckerton Seaport on alaia building. I know he oils only in class because of time, but for boards he makes for sale he glasses them I believe.
thanks RayF. dont know about how they ride. but i think you may need more punch and curl in the wave for this type of board. its more of a sliding and slipping ride
randy makes sweeeet alaias. i got a 6'10" and its hard as hell to ride but solid if you catch one. i know ben mcbrien rode one of his alaias in the past and from what i heard he liked it... randy knows his stuff. by the way frank, are you the graveyard atlantic guy?
Yeah man, thats my stuff. Randy is a good dude. I heard Ben was riding them pretty good. I imagine it would be pretty hard to ride.
