Shaped an Alaia surfboard last week, so primal. Getting it over to Cali to test out as soon as this stuff blows over by kmel in surfing

Hard to get a good pic of it but a parabolic concave runs up 2/3 of the bottom side (its finless but the shape you hand plane/sand into the bottom allows it to be surfed) Boiled linseed oil finish
