DescriptionThis alaia is not to be confused with the Ancient Alaias that Hawaiian commoners rode centuries ago. A solid redwood plank, this board is very thin and was made for smaller days and riding breaks closer to shore. Similar boards can commonly be found in some of the earliest documented photographs taken at Waikiki.
