Alaia Being Ridden Thread

Lots of people making alaias, lets see them being surfed. There seem to be more and more crazy videos of folks surfing alaias every week, so post any pics and videos of alaias being ridden here. 

I thought I would share these two from customers who have recently made some boards from our blanks. 

The first if of Taylor Jensen with Bryce, Nava and Nat Young at a not so secret spot in Northern NSW -

The second is of a bunch of talented (and creative!) bodyboarders shaping and then surfing their creations in small surf and then in some solid reef-break tubes -

Tom brought a bunch of his Alaias to Buffalo’s contest this year and Buffalo made a contest category for them.

For most of these Makaha regulars it was their first time on something like this.

Probably the first Alaia contest of the 2009 if not anyway

Check Mel Puu(200+) posing with his liitle Alaia before paddling out

Thanks Bernie, that was great. Such awesome watermen in Hawaii, certainly lifting the performance levels, also probably the first footage I've seen with Alaias being ridden on the backhand.

Taylor Jensen and Bryce young again. This is some of the best alaia surfing I have seen yet!
