Aloha Akila thanks for sharing your knowledge & your fathers wisdoms with us.
Akila is 100% the nicest dude. Met him one day at his bay and he was super cool even though I was a little starstruck. Huge fan!!
Hi is Aloha personified.
Respect to a craftsman ❤the boards
So Awesome. So cool. Great one on and a look at the inside of your shaping. Educational and inspirational.
Stoked, Allen! Akila is a Master.
Rad!! This is a great episode.
Wings create a break for pivot, can create grip, and reduce surface area...
EPS is better than Poly...
Mexico has better waves than Hawaii...
haha.
Awesome history about your father taking you to hydro boat racing to understand the wings physcis! Mahalo!
I dunno for sure who started wing's, but I read in the surf mags around 30+ yes ago - Terry Fitzgerald was the man who started wing's.
Yes, they do act like a pivot point, and they seen to loosen up a board more.
Master!!!!

Does this mean FE 2.0!?
Akila is constantly developing new ideas. Right now there is no FE 2.0 planned, but possibly someday. The 'Flat Earth' is still considered final in its current version.
proper epoxy is the future :)
The board is super sick you just have to get used to turning from the rail vs the fins which in the long term makes you a better 🏄♀️
