#003 Almost Done











Here's my third alaia, and the first one with the official logo! This is a 7 footer, with a nice single concave running 3/4 of the boards lenght. Knifey rails all around. This one goes to Josh in Sayulita (http://www.quiverito.com/)

First Alaia











Here is my first Alaia, is made out of Kelobra wood, which, by the way, is a PITA to work with. I think this is the first alaia made and surfed here in Mexico, maybe some of you can prove me wrong. The board is finished with Tung oil, which according to what I've read, is more resistant than linseed.
