Hi there, I found a paulownia provider near my city, so I got a 50x120cm, 2cm thick blank. I want to make an allround board, simple shape, finless, to use it as a prone paipo or as a kneeboard, depending of the conditions and the mood. I have a polyester resin paipo already (inspired by the elpaipo...

Great shape narrow board for better control.

You might consider the HPD (Hawaiian Paipo Design) board. It's wide, no skeg and basically no buoyancy. I got one from the second hand market a few years ago. Super easy to catch waves with, super easy duck dives indeed, but way too wide, I could t turn it the way I wanted to. Maybe the guitar pick...

The parallel arm hold position is noticeable. Do you reckon it works better on these type of waves?

Bob

it depends on the characteristic of the wave and location of the rider on the wave.

Hahaha, That's one of my good friend that works for the Fire Department and he also riding one of my board that he had me make for him many years ago, I think he needs a bigger size board now.....

Great ride ridden by Mike this is his push-up style with clean cuts. This guy with little concave bottom so far is the fastest board ridden and charges BIG surf. I know cause I ride beside him as I try taking off behind and trying to catch up finding him 5 length in front. Makaha 5'ft - 7'ft hawaiia...
