dont crucify me for this but i really like it , i'm sure the paddle board gets a trashing but the alaia tube riding makes up for it
tom
that is sick always thought of doing that with a surfboard but with the alia and a foot strap is mental
nice find messup
f@ckin sick man
later
Got to be an A for imagination,looks fun
i love the vid cause i am currently shaping my own alaia from a tom wegener blank , lots of mess when you try doin it in a tiny kitchen unit ( my wife loves me heaps),
dont get me wrong i a sup freak thru and thru but hold an alaia in your hands and youll want one even just to hang on the wall .
the other main thing i love is its a blend of the 2 most extremes of surfing at the moment , the ancient and the new, they couldnt be more opposed styles and shows they can live harmoniously together if you want .
only problem is you need a whole break to yourself if you wanna try .
tom
good on you for having a crack at it messup
i watched a handful of crew at ti tree noosa carving it up on the alaia boards
i recon its a cross between longboarding and riding a boogie board standing up
drawing a line from the rail and not from a fin setup
saw a dude pull one of the craziest "carving cutback into reverse 360 spin" right in the pocket i nearly fell into the water while hooting and clapping him after it
i had to paddle over and check out his sleek craft
and was totally blown away at it
later dogman
the guy that i was talkin to had a valla board from valla beach NSW
just down the coast from me
yer filth sticks
i was showing a mate that lives here that vid and he was blown out at it and at the same time said to me dont you get any ideas of doing that as its bad enough me being out on a sup fullstop and bailing out a big board to launch onto the alaia was death for anyone else in the lineup
cool as
post a few pics when its all finshed
an a few good learning curve/kookout pics for us as well
rock on dogman
