MyPaipoBoards Forums

You have done the same as me , my best body board is 41.5. I used this as template and now have 43"paipo. (more nose) Your tail rocker at 1" may be too much , bodyboards have 0 but can flex, I think i have 1/4" on mt paipo, your 1" will be slower but maybe better for control. You can snap, carve or ...

wood and cork boards.

In the bodyboard world most of the top DK riders just use a pretty standard 42" board, some of the legends use a 43" with the wide point set further back as the pivot point to turn it further back when on the knee than prone. My friend who is a good Dker tried my finless paipo and really struggled t...

Feel it on the legs where the board ends. Having spent the last almost 50 years of life in the racing industry, I, in my mind called it turbulence and attributed it to the fast moving water under the board, accelerated by the channels hitting a low pressure area behind the board creating a swirling...

So after bodyboards having very little changes in hull design since i have been riding them for 25 years there seems to be a "new design" on the block. I'm seems pretty much every board company (since most of them come out of the same factory) have added a quad channel to thier line up. But interest...

OK, I'll chime in. I have the sister FX. I think Thomas built his because I was talking to him about doing a finless board. Some background I'm a old guy who had to give up stand up because of loss of function after two knee replacements. I sold everything and was about to shoot myself when I disco...

So with a twin fins or quad the outer fins being single foil like plane wing can give lift. But central fins being twin foil would just create drag?

Tried these Thomas https://vimeo.com/24847687 (rastas "spiral" talk sounds like a loads of hippy bullshit to me. lol)

Interesting to hear feedback on the finless. (the FX looks to have a lot of curve in the template which would slow it up?) The only experience I had was with the one fin-able board I had, when I took the fins out it felt much faster to me. But the perception of speed can be an odd thing. I think as ...

If iFoam is same or similar to what I bought about 25 years ago, shaped in keels and concave paipo, it has tremendous float and really is bomb proof. Shape it and ride it, no sealing or coating of any sort needed. The outfit I bought the board from has long since vanished by the called it "automobi...

So-cal board maker I found .

It looks like its gonna be low on the volume size (depending on your weight) so its gonna be on the harder end for wave catching, if you want life easier get some more volume in the centre maybe. but should be good as it is on peaky beachies with some power. Thanks for the insight. I searched all o...

Why dont you get some fins and try them on your 45" board. i have come from a Bodyboard back ground and now ride finless paipos. I found personally little i like about having fins, they did grip and help you get past a mush section. but for the drawbacks i found from them, i just prefer to be withou...
