Re: Are there any Commercial Paipos available on the market
To me, I have used 3 categories of prone vehicles: 1) bodyboard - sponge 2) bellyboard - foam & glass; buoyant 3) paipo - neutrally buoyant board that is not a sponge or mini surfboard Not quite sure what you are saying? Id like to have the term 'Paipo' cover a greater range of craft so that it...

Re: Are there any Commercial Paipos available on the market
Old "chook" also applies to an older woman, a younger one being a "chick". So 2 old chooks fluffing around would mean 2 mature ladies fiddling around with the potato salad, folding napkins and the like at a christening. "Fluffing", on this occaisson, does NOT refer to t...

Re: Are there any Commercial Paipos available on the market
Why not draw the line here... Every prone board is classed as a bodyboard So UNglassed foam (soft foam-boogie) is a bodyboard but only a bodyboard. Everything else is a paipo. because the soft foam boards have a strict design shape that varies little - 60/40 rails , WP up front, flat outline across ...

Re: A difference between designing a paipo and other boards
we probably are saying the same thing. the whole board has to load up, not just having a tail that flops up and down. think of it more as as "twisting" a dish towel from nose to tail maybe? if the dish towel way may of a material that would spring back. it would load up and SPRING back in...

Re: Are there any Commercial Paipos available on the market
I was meaning paipos that are built by a paipo company and not a surfboard factory that dabbles in other craft. I was just wondering if anyone had started a business just to build paipos? I'll check out the link, thanks for that ! Does the Belly Bogger pass as a paipo ? The Belly Bogger certainly q...

Re: Gluing Foam?
In Australia we have regular neighbourhood garbage pickups and I scrounge thru to find old gym / yoga mats. Theyre about $20- $25 to buy new but free if youre pride doesnt stop you digging thru trash. Ive glued them on with waterproof "Liquid Nails". The older mats erode quickly and they s...

Re: Pirate Fish Alaia Remo II
Do you think its possible to laminate a few layers together to get a stiffer board for the same thickness or even thinner ?
Something like 10 or 12 layers of wood veneer with glass in between or maybe a foam core with the multiple veneer layers built up around the rails like on a Greenough spoon ?

Re: New T Belly Board
Did you have a lot of input into the design or did the Austin guys work it out ? The Larry Goddard drawings are inspirational.
