Dear Chris, I was thinking about making one of these boards, and I just wanted to make sure about the wood. I saw in one of your comments you said cedar would work is that a good choice of wood, because I can't find the other wood where I live. Thanks!

Would you tell me all the materials needed to build one of these fine boards? I would really appreciate it.

Hi Chris,
In the middle of shaping my first alaia. I've decided to put a fairly deep concave through the last 15 inches or so - Hope it works ok. Have you found a particular bottom contour that seems to work well. It's great that these boards can be constantly refined. Great Vid by the way - gave me the inspiration to give it a go.

Hi dingo...yes i think that cedar is a pretty OK choice if you can't obtain Paulowina. just watch that it doesn't split up the grain and if it this does then just recess a narrow strip across the grain...Have fun !!

hi there...all you need is Paulowina timber, PU glue and some basic woodworking tools and off you go!. you can use any lightweight timber really ...cedar for example would be a good choice. good luck and have fun. chris

The background music was on my ipod at the time seemed to fit OK, it is a band from South Aust called The Beachnicks....pretty fun album if you like that sort of thing. sorry if it seemed a little cheesy...it was! but this is the first time I've ever used a video camera and done a video...so I was pretty happy!. thank s again for watching and I hope you all get plenty of fun waves to surf ...cheers , Chris

HI there ...thanks for all your comments, they been very encouraging ok , to answer a few questions, these ones are made from aussie grown paulowina , the red stringers are aussie cedar. the first few that I did had rolly bottoms and were bloody hard to ride. this on featured has the roll/ hull nose that runs to a triple concave setup in the tail. the blank has a small amount of rocker in it to assist it in turning, this design goes pretty good, The timber was laminated together using PU glue.
