The Japanese boys are getting right into the Alaia
As was seen at the Japanese Fish Fry last month , the boys in Japan are really getting into the Alaia. I think even here in Australia we are going to see a lot of them this summer. As you can see there are new ideas being tested here with the channel bottom, now that should take the slide out of the sucker. Check out Naka and his mates at - www.kirimarusenbei.blogspot.com

The joy of wood and water...
Wooden surfboards have been around for a long time and it was probably on a simple piece of wood that man first enjoyed surfing waves somewhere in the world. It may have only been a crude piece of driftwood found on the beach that served as a way of catching that first wave, but the joy and connection felt with the sea then is no different from what we feel today. As someone who has crafted a surfboard from wood, taken it out and caught a wave on it, I can tell you that the first time you paddle in and get to your feet, is truly a timeless feeling of joy and achievement. I hope that in assembling this list of talented people will inspire you to have a go at building your dream board and also experience that feeling for yourself.
