Hidden Wood from France
A couple of French guys building Alaia's and having them decorated by some great local artists. A couple of them travelled through Australia in the last couple of years. Tristan worked at Classic Malibu at Noosa and Paul worked for Dan MacDonald here on the Gold Coast. It is a small world. A number of guys who have visited these shores recently have ended up in France and working together. Sergio Gomez worked with Roger Hall in New Zealand and now has his own set up in France.Great to see them working together as they are all very talented artists , shapers and surfers.

Franks fish all ready to ride

" Well, it's finally finished and here are the pics. I'm pleased with the result and will now be waxing it up to try it out. It's considerably lighter than the mal I built last year, and hopefully it will perform OK. If the fins don't do the job I hope they will I can try different types of fins. The leash plug is one with the Goretex breather built in, so I won't have to worry about doing the plug up or losing it.
The final measurements are 7'6 3/4" x 22 1/2" x 2 5/8", so the size is spot-on to the original plan"

The Hollow Kite Board





"The external skins are from 4mm paulownia and western red cedar. The detailed patterns are mostly 450 cuts, and so are easily achieved with a 220mm dia bench saw, with a fine tooth blade."
