This is a short promo for alaias shaped by Tom & Jon Wegener under the Wegener Surfboards label.
An alaia is a finless plank of wood based on boards surfed by Hawaiians for thousands of years before European contact.
Surfers: Ryan Burch & Eric Snortum

The ancient Hawaiians were probably doing things on these board which would make these guys seem like beginners
Very nice. Beautiful symmetry with the music and the surfing. Jon Wegener stopped by my local shop yesterday in Rhode Island, USA and spoke a bit about the alaias they’re making. Gave us a little demo as well and we were all able to try out the boards. They’re such beautiful pieces of art! Hard to ride! The guys in this video are insane. Check out my channel to see what I filmed of Jon yesterday. Thanks!
SOUL :]

sweet, i want one!!!
anyone can tell me the measures of an alaia?? pleaase
Dainggg!!!…that was impressive. Super soulful. If those ancient Hawaiians could have seen that, they probably would have made these guys kings.
@BadIdeas101 nope. no pendy sliding there my friend. just some loose bottom turns and some laybacks (i don’t know what a pendy slide is but i can assure you he did not do one).
Very good surf, great wood toy!
Those bigger boards are called Olo’s and they were used by the kings. The Alaia’s were smaller and used by the common people. Haven’t you ever seen that old photo of the Hawaiian standing and holding the small Alaia behind his back (which is about 6 1/2 or 7 feet long). It is at the Bishop Museum along with Olo’s and Alaia’s
This is the past, and the future of surfing, when people start doing shuvits on these, its gonna be so sickkk
I can swim faster than paddle on this board
its called film burn
cool.
swanky smooth…
Man i tried practicing how to ride alaia board by taking the fins off my foam board, so hard….

What is the red stuff at 0:28? It looks pretty cool. Is it some type of generated filter on an editing system or did you make it?
0:27 was there an effect used? if so what is is it?
Love it.
which tom wegener alaia is being surfed in this video?
looks so fast and fun
No fins? What? How? I’m still rubbing my eyes, this can’t be what I’m seeing.
