HPD Alaia

Aloha!
New HPD Alaia surf boards. Donald has created these replica boards using all his knowledge of ancient Hawaiian surfboard design.


Oceanside style! Wyatt holds two of the latest in Alaia design.


 Kai's new stick! Roundtail; hope he won't mind if I take it for a test drive.


 

 Wyatt & 5'0" HPD Alaia... It's not the size that matters it's how you ride it.


 Any questions regarding HPD Alaia? Please feel free to contact us at (760) 722-0195
