Re: Velo Flex spoon Build
This looks great - hitting all my buttons. In regard to the fin, I thought the high aspect fin was a big part of how it was supposed to work. In my limited understanding I imagined there would be considerable tension between the the twist of the fin and the flexible front part of the board - the sna...

Re: Mini Paipos
Dang. That is a lot of channels. And a lot of craftsmanship I suspect. Could you say anything about how you arrived at this particular design? Riding characteristics, previous shapes, stuff like that?

Re: French paipo
You might consider the HPD (Hawaiian Paipo Design) board. It's wide, no skeg and basically no buoyancy. Super easy duck dive. https://paipo.com. Hmm. that doesn't look like it's working but there are links to the site somewhere around here. It's a bit different than most of the paipos people ride he...

Re: Wet suit cool water
Those are about my temperatures maybe a little cooler and I usually use a 4-3. Are you using a hood and socks? They make a big difference to me.

Re: And this too shall pass...but not soon enough
I say buy the suit. It may be the last one you buy but at least you'll be ready to ride whatever you decide is right. I'm planning on being in the water as long as possible, and my standards for performance are pretty low. At least I'll be in the water long enough to get my grandson started.

Changed it to Rods name because I couldn't remember PES last name. And they wanted a last name.

Re: Paipo Gathering - Sa/Su/Mo, Oct 5-7, 2019 El Capitan SP
Hate to say it but it looks like I'll have to bail on the gathering. Transmission is out and chances of repair by next weekend are very remote. Still working on it - fingers crossed - but looks unlikely. I guess you guys will be on your own for chow. I'll be following for pics and reports about exce...

How about a potluck? Saturday or Sunday night? I will do ribs or something like that if there is interest. It would be good to know preferred day and how many might be there.
Yup same old phone .
