Just as I thought Stand Up Paddle Boarding was the hottest new craze, and prior to that fishes and quads, I believe another has surfaced - the Alaia surfboard by Tom Wegener. Based off of the ancient Hawaiian surfboards more than 1,000 years ago, the Alaia is a finless piece of wood that is sealed with oil. What makes these boards work is the hard edge of the rail that acts as a fin and the gentle curves on the bottom hold the board into the face of the wave. Unbelievable speed is created by flexing the board to fit into the wave. Tom states in a recent Surfline article that “There are lots of combinations of Alaia design that haven’t been put together yet that are extremely promising in terms of design innovation”.

With test pilots like Rob Machado, Dan Malloy, Dave Rastovich and Tom Carroll, these surfboards are being taken to the next level in surfing which can bee seen in Thomas Campbell’s upcoming new movie The Present. Rumor also has it that Tom Curren is ripping on his as well. 

Just as my new issue of Surfing Magazine arrived in the mailbox, local HB shredda Sterling Foxcroft popped over with Matt “Drifty” Williams from Tom Wegener Surfboards in Australia. Matt is Toms apprentice and helps craft these Alaia surfboards. It was great to hang with him a bit and hopefully we will see him soon.

Although it seems as if everyone supplies us with digital files these days, we still get jobs where we can scan an original photograph. For this recent project we scanned the original 4×6 photograph at a high resolution. We then cleaned, sharpened and color corrected the image in Photoshop. Next, we printed a 16×20 glossy canvas print that was spray coated for added protection. Finally, it was stretched on a wooden frame that was ready to hang or frame.

With the Holidays fast approaching, we thought we would share with you why we think a custom canvas print from Studio Light Room makes for the perfect Holiday gift:

1. Canvas prints come ready to hang or frame.

2. Once hung on a wall, the canvas will bring a fresh artistic touch to a home or office.

3. Creating the canvas print from your photo or artwork will add more personal value to your gift.

4. Easy to order and we will even gift wrap it for you at no additional charge!

To order please email us at info@studiolightroom.com with your request or any questions you may have.

I just visited one of my favorite artists, Ryan McGinness’s website and saw that he has updated his site with some fresh new pieces. If you are in the need for a little artist inspiration definitely check his site.

I need to keep my camera in the car more often. As I was driving by the beach I pulled into the parking lot and shot this from inside my car. This photo of a beautiful Huntington Beach Sunset can be purchased as a canvas print, art paper print or photo print. Please contact us if interested.

Brett and Michelle from San Diego, CA, asked us to produce a canvas print to be displayed at their wedding. This print was printed on our Epson Matte Canvas and was stretched on a 20×30 frame. This wedding that overlooked the ocean was held at the Del Mar Surf Station which is an old train station in Del Mar, California. The photo was taken by John Schnack from Schnack Studios.

One of our favorite artists and filmmakers, Thomas Campbell, has launched his site. Thomas Campbell is an awesome inspiration and you can check out his site here.

Well, the site is on its way! Although its taken longer than expected, its in the final stages and will be going live soon. In the meantime contact us at info@studiolightroom.com for any orders or questions you may have. Thanks! Studio Light Room is located in Huntington Beach, CA
