Has anybody ever put a fin on one of them planks? I know, I know, then it wouldn't, by definition, be an alaia. Just askin', tho. Cuz everytime I see one, I want to put a fin on it!
I’ve tried it, but you lose all ability to turn the damn thing, unless you put rocker in, and then yes…it’s no longer an alaia, just a surfboard that doesn’t float! It is an interesting experiment, because it’ll show you how different the alaia is to a finned board.
