From asymmetrical twins to refined experimental shapes, his quiver reflects a genuine love for craft that prioritises flow, feel, and adaptability over convention. Where others chase predictability, Aliotti finds freedom in nuance\u2014using alternative equipment not as a statement, but as a tool to unlock new lines in waves that have already been dissected a thousand times. In the process, he continues to prove that progression doesn\u2019t always come from bigger boards or sharper edges, but from rethinking the relationship between surfer, board, and wave, enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Mentawaii <br \/><strong>Filming:<\/strong> Kandui Resort, Tani tripod,\u00a0 Basi Lius <br \/><strong>Water shot:<\/strong> Frederico Vanno<br \/><strong>Drone shot:<\/strong> Manuel Miguelez <br \/><strong>Actor:<\/strong> Pierre Caley <br \/><strong>Edit:<\/strong> Arthur Genie<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slide through the Mentawai Islands with one of the world\u2019s best free surfers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":278272,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[35,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-278271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-videos"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>William Aliotti - Jungle Fever - Carvemag.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carvemag.com\/2026\/01\/william-aliotti-jungle-fever\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"William Aliotti - Jungle Fever - Carvemag.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Slide through the Mentawai Islands with one of the world\u2019s best free surfers.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.carvemag.com\/2026\/01\/william-aliotti-jungle-fever\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Carvemag.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/carvemag\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-01-07T16:03:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-01-07T16:29:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.carvemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/william-aliotti-mentawai.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1031\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"James\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@carvemag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@carvemag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"James\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.carvemag.com\\\/2026\\\/01\\\/william-aliotti-jungle-fever\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.carvemag.com\\\/2026\\\/01\\\/william-aliotti-jungle-fever\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"James\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.carvemag.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/269ce93810cd0a143a9c4763dffd093f\"},\"headline\":\"William Aliotti &#8211;
