Photos from the DIY Alaia Class at Patagonia Cardiff

4 Min Read  /  Design, Surfing

IMG_1535 Last week we mentioned an alaia shaping class at Patagonia Cardiff. Store manager Devon Howard sent some photos from the event and a brief recap for those of us who couldn’t make the trek down south.

Thanks to Cyrus Sutton of Korduroy.tv for getting us stoked on providing free alaia shaping classes with Jon Wegener — who did a fantastic job of teaching our customers how to make their own boards.

We hosted four free classes on our patio with an average of 35 students per class. Jon shared some tips on how to make your alaia surfboard with his special paulownia wood blanks that are available for sale here. The front row was getting dusted from the planer so during the later shows it was empty with people standing back as far as they could. Like getting sprayed by Shamu.

Make the jump for more photos and a trailer for Cyrus Sutton’s new movie Tom’s Creation Plantation.

All four of the classes were well attended, even with a fun south swell in the water.

Learning how to make your own hand plane for bodysurfing is just one of the many things you’ll get from Cyrus’ new Web site Cyryswith boardBW
