Spreading the stoke and keeping it alive
Surf Overview
At Olo Alaia, we offer a carefully curated selection of surfboards crafted to elevate your surf experience at Playa Guiones and the surrounding breaks. Known for its consistent, long, and approachable waves, Playa Guiones is a premier surf destination. With waves typically ranging from 2 to 6 feet, the gentle beach break is perfect for surfers of all skill levels, offering long, smooth rides that are ideal for experimenting with a variety of board shapes.
Our collection is tailored to maximize these conditions. We stock an array of boards—from long fishes to high-performance twin fins—that are perfect for the softer, more playful waves Guiones is famous for. These boards are designed to maximize speed and flow, taking full advantage of the wave’s mellow, rolling sections.
For days when the swell picks up, we also carry boards built to handle more powerful surf. Whether you’re surfing bigger days at Guiones or heading to nearby breaks like Ostional and Marbella, we offer performance shortboards and hybrids that provide control, speed, and versatility.
Our selection also includes high-quality longboards from legendary shapers like Donald Takayama Surfboards and Bing, designed to complement the smooth, drawn-out waves of Guiones. Many of our boards are hand-shaped by some of the best craftsmen in the world, sourced from California, Australia, and Costa Rica. Each board is meticulously built to ensure both durability and performance, allowing surfers to get the most out of every wave, whether it’s the smooth rides of Guiones or the faster, punchier waves of surrounding breaks. Here at Olo, we are always thinking about what we don’t have in our quiver, rather than what we do, which is why we also carry an assortment of alternative shapes and asymmetrical boards from renowned shaper and artist Donald Brink, to take your surfing to new levels with different styles of riding.
Playa Guiones’ warm water and spacious, consistent surf make it the perfect spot to experiment with different board styles and enjoy the beauty of the waves. From easygoing longboards to versatile performance shapes, Olo Alaia ensures you’ll always have the right board for whatever the day’s surf brings.
