Alaia Surfing

great fun getting in touch with the ancient Hawaiian spirit through their primordial equipment. these things go super fast and were apparently what the locals were riding when Captain James Cook first rocked up on the islands back in the late 1700s. This for all those sport buffs who think surfing is somekind of modern hobby. Or worse that competition is all there is to life - embrace cooperation and excellence for the beauty and flow of it. Fighting ignorance (our own too!) is an ongoing and perpetual exercise. Aloha
