Re: My new SDF surfboard Paipo
Krusher, 10 out of 10 for ingenuity. The wave looked perfect fora paipo. The board certainly looked like it could hold an edge through the hollow sections/whitewater. Was this some sort of reef? I was interested in the variety of wave heights. I'd be interested to see the stills, especially if they ...

Re: Poobah's Paipo Nui
Poobah, Thanks. The other side of the flyer image I was sent, says $19.95 plus tax ($20.65). Rod has also recently acknowledged the importance of the paper trail here: http://thebeachsideresident.com/2012/09/rod-rodgers/ There was also the thread by r32 asking where paipo fitted into history that sp...

Re: My new SDF surfboard Paipo
Krusher,
Thanks for the dimensions. The 3'8 1/4" was lost on my passing attention.
Good to hear you are happy with the design. Like all boards it will be interesting to find what it's limitations are & what it does well.

Poobah's Paipo Nui
Poobah posted a photo of a Paipo Nui board on the cork deck thread: http://mypaipoboards.org/forum3/viewtop ... t=20#p1879.
On the photo you can see the PN logo. I thought I'd share this page from a Paipo Nui flyer. Bob

Re: Cork deck
Thanks.
I was unsure whether I was seeing a HPD with a cork bottom. The 40 year old Paipo Nui - is it a Valentine original or one of Pual Lindbergh's boards?

Re: Old Hayden paipo
Cuttlefish, I'd be interested in the business card details - pm if you like. The board is back in the hands of Huie to (a) repair the bottom and (b) add an extra fin slot. The board is thicker than I wanted, but the trade-off is stability in the tube. I rode a wave that collapsed on me but the board...

Re: Cork deck
Uncle G,
When I nwxt hear from Huie I'll ask how thick the cork is, it may well be thinner than 1/4"/

Re: My new SDF surfboard Paipo
Krusher, It will be interesting to hear how your board rides. What are the dimensions? One of the interesting things about paipo boards, is that many guys come at it from some other background so the type of board and how it is surfed is influenced by whether they were a bodysurfer, kneeboarder, sta...

Re: Cork deck
I posted some photos of a board with a cork deck here - http://mypaipoboards.org/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=197&p=1853#p1853 I believe the board was vacumm bagged, so the cork won't absorb water like Uncle G's. The cork is pretty robust but I'm not sure how easy it would be to repair it if i...

Re: Old Hayden paipo
Hello Cuttlefish = who was the guy with the board? Was his name Gary? A pretty amazing co-incidence - the odds of that happening would have to be amazing. I just realised I have a board that has some similarities to Frog's original - not surprising because Huie was around the Sunshine Coast at the t...

Re: Deus Ex Machina Bellyboard
I ride a couple of boards based on Larry's designs. My fins are smaller and I also ride them finless. One place that fins really make a difference is fatter sections where you need to cut back hard. In hollow sections, the really hard rails hold in just fine, just like on other finless wood boards. ...

A better link is this one: http://deustemple.com/get-down-on-it/
At the end are comments by Larry Goddard drawing attention to the origin of these boards- being his design ideas.

Hello Spudnut,
Thanks. Uncle G sent me some info which fits with the timeframe you mentioned. What Tarampi's connection to paipos is remains a mystery.

Re: Early Oz Belly Boarders
I believe Jeremy Oxenden posted this photo to Joe Tabler, of Surfblurb fame. I'm curious regarding where it came from as it also can be found here: http://home.brisnet.org.au/~bgreen/bgpage/auspaipo_page9.shtml Robert Hosking, featured on this page: http://home.brisnet.com.au/~bgreen/bgpage/auspaipo...
