MyPaipoBoards Forums

Just finished a second test ride on this board .3 hrs at Cayton Bay 4 to 5ft a weak 9 sec swell offshore winds ,first thing I noted was how easy it was to find the ride centre the board sort off lands naturally under the body , the other wing boards all take a few sessions the work out , pulls long...

"Channel Islands-Inspired twinnies." so which CI has a massive center fin on their twin! the 3 fin twin! lol

i'm always so intrigued to see these surfed wondering if they have made something super complicated that they just got straight down the line on.

spotted this on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265075348193 ... olid=10001

those black bits look hard on the old groin region!!!

The first foam and fiberglass paipos I saw in person that got me building my own were in the Deus shop/cafe that in changu very near to where this was filmed.

it's interesting to compare to mine. I cant see the number but yours appear to have more nose rocker than mine if you cut your nose down to my 2 3/4" nose rocker how much length of the tip of the board would you lose?

I can email you the CAD file of my board if you would like the shaper to have a look for ideas or have a look yourself, you just need the free version of akushaper to see it. you could see what I use for nose rocker etc. That would be great, thanks :) benoit.mori.merceron@ gmail .com email sent. :D

Here is a great video (one of a 16 part series) that I bet you will learn something from.

If you have a bodyboard that you like I would recommend using its outline curve as a template, that's what I did with my paipo and it turns just the same as my fav bodyboard. if the shaper put a sufboard rail on it with a hard edge then that will work with fins, if you then want to try it finless yo...

I would love to try out one of your boards, but think as with many things Brexshit has ruined any chance of that.

Any side views to show rocker? are you using tail rocker or is the tail rocker just in the tail concaves?

The worst thing I have found from most standup shapers having a go at a paipo is they put everything they know about standup boards into them and all those general rules don't work, so you end up with their first go/experiment and end up with a test board that's all wrong. For example, he is already...

ok-I know this will rile up the purists here, but as an experiment, I put a couple of soft top fins on an old bodyboard-It is a too big, too wide bodyboard that I could not keep from sliding out whenever the wave got steep. the fins made the board a lot more fun to ride but I think I could improve ...

I already wear a lacrosse rib protectors at this one place I surf! That must be some extreme skipping or you must surf a lot more on your belly/ribs than I do, I have never experienced anything that extreme that would need chest protection in all my time surfing. Are you leaving the water surface o...

I've often thought of how to handle high-speed waves with some cross chop. Skimming from peak to peak of a little bit of cross-swell is challenging. Up to moderate sea state (chop style), but not high seas, hydrofoils and bi-/tri-hulls are sometimes used. Boats have bows (v-bottom fronts/nose areas...

it would be helpful to see pictures of the board from several different angles and know the dimensions. and rider height weight I have never experienced this bucking, hopping or chattering on any boards i have ridden unless in extreme devil wind, and in those conditions, no design would get rid of i...

nice looking board, but what a horrible place for a leash, i guess it was iriginallt leashless and when someone wanted to use one there only idea was to drill the fin!

That's about the same dimensions as my boards. I ride 21.5 wide which is a very standard width for a 42" bodyboard for the last 30 years. Should work finless too.
I wish i could sell my used boards for 300E, nobody seems interested if I advertize them at half that

These popped up the other day, shows how little of a board is in the water.

found this today , several videos at https://www.fringesurfer.tv/s1e1
