Can You Say Alaia? [Video]

Korduroy/Patagonia Alaia Shaping Tutorial from Cyrus Sutton on Vimeo

In a petroleum-addicted, pre-packaged culture a fire has been sparked that will transform surfing forever. From his Australian country shed, Tom Wegener has opened the door to surfing’s future by reintroducing the Alaia, an ancient wooden surf craft devoid of fins, foam or rocker. Welcome to a new age where a single surfer with simple tools and natural materials can push the limits of modern surfing.

Let's Go Fly A Kite!

I found some wind!

Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

Wednesday Wipeout.

Hello Joe! I told you, "OOPS, OOPS, OOPS!"
Greg, Trick or Wipeout?

P.S. I always wave to my fans on the beach.
P.P.S Miguel, I don't wear a wetsuit when I'm in Hawaii or the Philippines. San Francisco Bay is muy frio!
