Ryan tests out his 12ft alaia at Cardiff Reef, CA. Because of a slight warp in the board's tail flanges it will only go right (left attempts resulted in the board bucking out the back of the wave). Nevertheless he get some nice rides- check out the flex the board exhibits while trimming.

While more expensive and time consuming than your average bar of wax, here's an option for all you ultra-environmentally conscious surfers out there.

Feel free to post comments if you've tried your own batch, if you've found alternate ingredients or specific ratios for different water temps.
