Wood Is Good - Alaias
In part 3 of the Wood is Good series, Tom gets into his work with Alaias. There has been a lot of interest recently in this "ancient" craft and Tom talks about his progression with their design, from belly boards to stand up riding.
On Saturday, October 11, 2009, after the Sacred Craft Surfboard Expo, surfboard shaper Tom Wegener gave an evening presentation at Patagonia's Cardiff Surf Shop. Tom spoke about shaping surfboards from Paulownia wood, specifically classic single fin longboards, hollow surfboards and the traditional Hawaiian alaia design which Tom and his friends help reintroduce to the surfing world. Special thanks to Devon Howard for organizing this unique event and to Free at TCl for sharing the goods. Part 3 of 4
