Okay, that's pretty good.

I actually do want to ride an alaia. I grew up riding a piece of plywood that was essentially a poipo, but I didn't know it at the time. I just know I could body board on it and it was a lot of fun.

Thats how I started in the 80s. Somehow got the idea to screw old plastic gutters in to use as fins.

How about you're gonna look kinda gaya.


A finless board wouldn't interrupt the flowing lines of my Honda element though. ;)


I wouldn't know about that...I drive a tacoma.

My current quiver:
5'4 x 20.5 x 2.5 Stewart Fartknocker quad for mush bustin

5'10 x 19.5 x 2.375 JS Nitro thruster knee high to a foot over head
Or on fatter high tides

6'0 x 18.75 x 2.375 Firewire Alternator thruster for whenever it's
Waist to two feet overhead and solid.

6'2 x 18.5 x 2.2 JC Hawaii NX1 tuff lite for rocky spots and overhead waves
That require a little more volume to get in.

Still need a good 6'6 rounded pin for next winter.

I'm around 6"1 6"2 and between 175 and 180 I think you could go down to a 5"8 fish as long as it's bulky,
a 5'10 might be a safer bet, it"l hold a little better and be a little less skatey.
