Impressive...I want to see more vids... got to love the alaia, controled slide in the pocket!!! (la la). I am building a redwood alaia to play on....I hear they ride more like a snowboard than a surfboard, do you ride em? What are your impressions? How is the learning curve on these for other surfers used to longboards or shortboards with fins?
I used to get them from SC and ordered a bunch so I haven't needed to order in awhile, but he shut down. Not sure where to go now. You don't want to treat it until it done...
Not sure about maple. Any wood will technically work, just make sure it's sealed well. Paulownia naturally resists soaking up saltwater and has the best strength to weight ratio. 3/4 will float well, but it will be heavy.
I actually made one. But out of a different type of wood and not as thick. I sure received some small bruises on the arms and legs. One thing I liked about it was how everyone stays out of the way haha
As many as you have patience for. the more the better. You'll eventually have to retreat it if you use it alot and it stinks...I tried cutting it with turpentine 50/50 to increase drying time. But have since moved to tung oil. It dries faster and harder.

What did you use to glaze it?
+gabriel bay Linseed Oil and bees wax, but I've since moved to tung oil
+Jason Andre wow, a completely natural surf table. It's great to know about that, thanks you and very good video
raw linseed oil with a bit of turpentine. It never actually dries...and my wife says i smell like fish. It rides amazingly!!!

Get tung oil. It's more readily available and works great!
