I forgot to mention, I have a WMFG deck pad fitted https://wmfg.co/products/wmfg-traction- ... d-deck-pad
Catching the wave with an alaia is a little tricky, but the paddle out is brutal. A clean point break would be nice. I only had access to sandbar beachbreak when I tried a good while ago. Got to my feet several times. Suffered good a bit in between.

Ich think Fone introduced a super thin low volume carbon Waveboard a few days ago. Maybe worth checking outTomW wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 5:58 pma bit off topic. I've ridden thicker boards. Then built a whole bunch really thin, 13L, and smaller , about 3" shorter of comparable board. In Scandinavian conditions where we only get waves in nuking winds, I find they are better.
But it's a bit of personal preference.
That said, almost no company is building low volume, thin boards for the kind of conditions that are at most spots in Europe.
Some of you might be fortunate to live where you have real period swell and waves, then perhaps the domed deck, 24L Surfboard is better.
