The Alaia


The Alaia
a non-toxic
and finless
surfboard
based on
the ancient
Hawaiian design







The beauty in these boards is
the process of building it yourself,
surfing on it,
and iterating the shape
as you figure out how it rides.

"I've tried to find a
new modernity, a new elegance.
It's not easy because people
seem to want to be shocked.
They want explosive fashion.
I try to avoid that
because explosions don't last;
they disappear immediately
and leave nothing but ashes."
-Giorgio Armani
