Alaia surfing. Grape composite alaia

Grape composite alaia making junk waves fun. This composite alaia floats much better than the wood alaias I have made over the last year and a half. Although I am still making the wood ones, I find myself riding this one the most because it paddles so much easier.

i recently made a wooden alaia and it does not float and is nearly impossible to paddle. is it ment to be like this?? thanks :)

[shbrown]

@auguste216 The wood ones are hard to paddle at first and do take a lot of work to get into waves. Since I started riding the foam one, I really dont ride my wood alaias.

How much would it cost to have one made?

[shbrown]

@Spliffnugz About $650.00 for the carbon fiber model.

why did you take the leash off if you knew you were going to drop it so many times?

keep it on unless you can control it with out it before you hurt someone

You guys at grape, thanks for the video. Really like the down the line speed the board seems to generate in mushy surf. Also seems like surfing them has some element of control thrown in with some chaos

i want one! how do i get one?!

This looks so chilled. I always find short board surfing to be to competitive and fast. This looks very interesting. I think I would definetely give it a go. You're pretty good too, which probably is the reason that it looks so cool and chilled. Keep surfing :)
