May 21, 2008 - sadtree, yes I have seen Tom's site.. Beautiful work. Thanks for watching.

Aug 10, 2008 - Looks to me from studying the videos, that the bottoms of Tom's alias are concave on the sides and thicken in the middle to make just a hint of a keel. Many of the alias around the 1900's were just flat planks with rounded noses and rails. Definitely more skill needed to ride on them.

Aug 31, 2008 - When Mikey goes for the spin it almost looks like there's a fin on the alaia. Is that just my impression?

drdianascience Says:

Sep 1, 2008 - I have shots of Mikey riding the alaia as well as his longboard. You may be watching a section where he is riding his longboard vs. alaia.

Nov 13, 2009 - The first wave is Mikey on the alaia and the other 2 waves he is on a regular longboard with fin. Appears that the video was edited to appear that all 3 waves were on the alaia.

Nov 13, 2009 - Mikey is riding a longboard as well as an alaia. No intentional editing to make Mikey look like he's only riding only an alaia.
