Alaia Shapers Workshop

A 4 1/2 hour course that is designed to cater for anyone wanting to shape their own timber Alaia surfboard. The Alaia has a long history, first documented by Captian Cook on his visit to Hawaii and is now having a resurgence with the interest in discovering the roots of surfing.
With all materials and equipment supplied, qualified master shapers guide you through design, the process of cutting the plan shape, turning the rails and finish shaping. The logos are burned in and the board is oiled and ready to surf.
