QR Code Link to This Post
This Absolutely Beautiful & Rare Traditional Ancient Hawaiian A'laia Style Surfboard reproduction is made from Solid Koa Wood from the Big Island of Hawaii.
It is designed in the ancient Hawaiian shape called an " A'laia " which was used by the Hawaiians in the pre 20th Century through the 1920's to 1930's.
There are 3 main characteristics of Koa Wood:
Koa Wood Straight Grain
Straight - describes wood grain that runs in one direction. It has little waving or curl, the grains are mostly parallel.
Koa Wood Curly Grain
Curly - describes a wood grain that has been compressed and produces alternate stripes perpendicular to the face of the wood. This compression creates the visual illusion of a three-dimension surface, also known as chatoyancy. This is Koa’s most desirable characteristic and what Koa is known for producing.
Koa Wood Figured Grain
Figured - is similar to curly in the sense that compression and other factors cause a desirable looking effect. Unlike curly, however, it is not necessarily perpendicular to the surface. It may contain uneven twists and unpredictable turns in the grain.
This Beautiful Surfboard and the extra pieces, include all three of these characteristics though out the Koa Wood Boards, plus what some describe as Fire & Tiger.
The board still has wax on the deck from when it was surfed on the Big Island of Hawaii. It can easily be cleaned off and polished to an even more beautiful finish.
