JOURNEY: The Wooden Movement

January 29, 2011 | Words By:

Journey Alaias are hand crafted in Bali and incorporate the high performance of finless surfing, along with the beautiful aesthetic of hand crafted wooden boards. Check ’em out here.


These boards have been extensively tested throughout the surf of Bali, and provide amazing speed with the unique feeling of weightlessness that only finless wooden boards can achieve.

While living and working in Bali, Jamie Johnstone continually searched to find the most environmentally friendly wooden surfboards. The Journey product range cause minimal environmental damage in construction, without comprimising on the quality or performance of the boards. With Alaia riding continually increasing in popularity, these environmental factors are important.

Alaias by Journey

Please download the Powerpoint show or email Jamie for the full Journey Alaia range. This includes technical details of each model and their dimensions, as well information on the wood used and its sourcing, and the boards manufacturing process.

The first batch of Alaia’s will be arriving in the UK for April 2011.

PRICE (excluding VAT and UK postage/transport costs):
The Serious and Magnum Alaia will be available at a wholesale price of £175, with a recommended retail price of £275.
The Pleasure Alaia will be available at a wholesale price of £225, with a recommended retail price of £325.
