Packing Material Recycling



I've got a ton of non-blanked EPS in the garage, and some bamboo veneer...

Guess what is on the chopping blocks...

The alaia I made previously was a tremendous PITA to ride - primarily because of the lack of floatation. This Nine Lights version looks to be an awesome modern interpretation of the original, made out of EPS so you get the super buoyancy, and all of the finless, rail-engaging ride of the original.

The short, stubby outline looks to be a super planing shape for easy paddling.

And best of all, the veneer can be cut into any shape - stay tuned for this one... it's going to be really cool.
