🌊 SURFIN' BIRD 🌊
Here's our latest creation just in time for the holidays, a traditional Alaia Surfboard! For some reason, I have a bit of a fascination with finger surfboarding, so every time I know I'm going somewhere with waves, I have to make another surfboard! And this one turned out amazingly! Heavily inspired by the amazing works of
@eviljungleprince_ , this board has it all: an awesome split ply top, a traditional surfboard shape, 6 ply construction for added toughness, and carved out channels underneath to control water flow. And of course, it's as flat as a pancake! Carving the channels with a lino cutter proved to be quite difficult to begin with, but as I got deeper into the board it became a lot easier and almost therapeutic in a way. Also did some insane finishing techniques to try and waterproof it. Teak oil undercoat AND an entire coat of superglue? Unheard of! And before anyone asks, it does indeed float and shred (thankfully), and this is no April Fool's joke! Not planning to sell this one but if anyone loves it then shoot me a DM and we'll figure something out. Thank you! ❤️✌️🛹 (pics and hand model
