alias in delmatva?

yeah but not if you know how to surf those allia boards good then they are a lot of fun

 

but they are a waste of time if you don't know how to ride them and the waves arew good . like i would never take one out if the waves were really good i would just surf. because i don't know how to ride them at all

 

check out the skeleton boy on youtube the guys sick he looks better than machado at riding an alai. search through some swaylocks threads too some guys have been getting prelaminated pine from home depot, they advertise it as a table top, but i know you can them pretty close to alai size about an inch thick and 18 or 19 wide theyre just a little heavier than a real one. but for like thirty bucks its probably worth a try

To each his own you know. People def. don't always agree with me on board choice. Cool Idea just haven't seen that many people excel on them.

 

i want to learn how to ride one you just have to practice a lot

 

I think anything you can bring back or improve one has to be great for surfing. What will be next those 12 foot 100lbs redwood finless planks they use to ride before surfing was called surfing

 

freak...................

 

I usually SUP with an alaia on the deck. once i get on the wave i ditch the SUP and paddle and cruise with so much soulllllll down the line

 

Exactly and completely.

 

kool.........

 

guys in oc were doing jet ski step offs onto alaias to avoid having to bother paddling in on those pesky little boards.

 

For starters, it is spelled alaia!

 

If you want to be really challenged then try riding an olo of 16' rather than a 6' alaia.

 

whats an olo?

 

For starters (although it is now generally believed that few alaias were as large as pictured, i.e., over 8 feet):
