Lesson 05

In this lesson, we will shape the bottom contours, which will give direction to your Alaia, since it does not have fins.

The bottom contours, such as concaves and side ramps, are one of the main elements of your Alaia’s shape. Additionally, we will define the False Rocker. We call it “False Rocker” because the Alaia does not have a real Rocker curvature like a surfboard, as it is essentially (not so simply) a wooden plank.

Topics covered in this lesson:
• Marking the Concave
• Defining the False Rocker
