Ancient Craft hand shapes each board individually using hand tools such as block planes, spoke shaves and custom made sanding blocks. The finished boards are coated with an organic oil mix.

 Ancient Craft Alaia’s are close replicas’ of the original Hawaiian boards with a modern touch and a concave adaptation in the design.

The modern Alaia is made from Paulownia timber which is highly water resistant, very similar to the Wili Wili timber used by Hawaiians.
