OZ Quad Fish Shaped

This board was ordered from Byron Bay, Australia. I was asked to take a longboarder down to riding a fish. With that in mind, this quad was made. It’s a bit on the longer side at 6’4″ and plenty thick in foil to make an easy transition.

Alaia Shaped

Shaping this is alot like foiling a really big wooden fin. The paulownia wood is surprisingly sand-able and this thing has so much flex to it. Needs a logo and sealant then it’s ready to ride.

Alaia Blank Build

The paulownia lumber is in. This wood is such a great mix of strength, minimal weight, and flexibility. It came very rough and needed plenty of work to make proper planks for blanks. The top two photos are rough sawn lumber and last two photos show cut and planed to thickness. Next up is truing up sides and they’ll be ready to glue.
