paul, like i always say, i wish i'd just be riding prone my whole life, the rush is way more real, but then, i wouldnt have had anything to compare it to and would have been a lot less stoked me thinks! keep that kneeboard and ride it when you start to get bored of laying down, then youll remember w...

paipo11.jpg would a foam finless board "need" to be different than the finless wood boards we have seen on this site as well as many others? maybe because of float? i believe that the hard rails (soft 50/50 and harder 50/50 didnt work as well as square. they look better but didnt surf bet...

concaves are slower and deep concaves are really "slow," i keep telling people that but no one wants to listen. they automatically think it gives lift, it doesnt, they suck down into the water. " A single concave will enable tighter turns (because its sucks), but it can sometimes stic...

my first bellyboard was made by my brother, i was about 8 or 10. it was a long board my brother owned and my dad backed over it to prove a point. my brother just sawed off the nose and taped the shitz out of it, we rode it all summer at twin lakes, what a blast!

"theres nothing out there?" that statement is definitely a bullship statement but the boards look coolish. anyone know these fartsmellers?

looks good Bob! as for me and my household, the pocket is all that really matters!

cleanest version yet. looks like a lotta fin? wutta the rails look like?

looks like my pumpkin seed in plan shape, just squashed. the reversed vee in the nose will act like belly on entry, probably. nice work.

bob, thats funny! hahahaaha. not sure what its like where you live but here in san diego county everybody surfs! this is the surf center of the universe! or so it seems. ever seen pics of the paipo fests? thats a micro slice of surf life here. i surf from the cliffs to o-side. i think we think that ...

grumpy, ill post as soon as i get it back from the glasser, heez swamped so it could be a few weeks. bob, LOL, hardly an invasion. 60 boards in 4 years? and 10 of those have been shipped to texas, hawaii, oregon and washington along with some up to my hometown of santa cruz. my boards are designed t...

1 1/2 is correct. i like to keep my boards right around that. usually someone larger thinks they want something thicker, then i let them try one of my boards before they purchase. 95% have went thinner. i have gave some thicker but i scoop out a lot and leave the thickness out toward the rails. it b...

how do you paint between the board and the wing? i like it just the way it is...complicated board, simple paint.

thanks brother. san diego is flooded with them. 60th!

New hull for San Diego paipo rider Fishy Davis. 4'9"x19.5 19L with 10"box for single flex finl

just wondering? single concaves are fast and help a board track, right? double concaves help a board get looser, correct? is a concave board faster than a flat bottom? do double concaves loosen up a board more than just vee? why are boards made like this now? wouldnt the concaves really only help if...

im with you with the da fins. i cut the squares edges off and made them more like their other fins and they work like magic. i use the maakapuu's and have been my go to fin for 50 years. tried all the rest and end up back with these. i have a wide foot and they fit me best.
