Latest alaia styled paipo

First finished this board back in January (Alaia style paipo mk 1) but I realised I went a bit too aggressive with the concave and split the board. Didn't fancy scrapping the board because it looked so much fun so I decided to fibreglass it so now it's back and super strength. Went for a yacht varnish finish this time to give it a shiny finish without too much sanding.

The Rabbits Foot looks interesting

I'm sure everybody is familiar with Ryan Lovelace's Rabbits Foot, or at least it's worth looking up on t'Interweb because it looks pretty wild and as such it was inevitable that I'd have to make my own version at some point. So this is the current state of it so far. You may have noticed that I've swapped the crescent tail for a half crescent / half round tail asymmetric effort that I'd sketched out for the next version of my Bottom Feeder attempt.

Currently it is awaiting some warmer weather and longer days before attempting to fibreglass her, I learnt that lesson the hard way, but I am liking the curves on her. Can't promise I'll be able to get any waves but she will turn some heads!
