Ca. Summer of 1967, country of Carolina, Puerto Rico, with my first board on top. Ready for the drive to La Pared, Luquillo, PR, for a surf session. I was a learning surfer. That is a 9'4" Hobie Noserider strapped on top, my first board. Two years later I owned a VW Bug but had a choice or runn...

Those are called paipos and waves!

My 5 foot wave at Wilderness I envisioned was like that today... in all my glory!!! Ja Ja.

Being born and raised and having lived my entire life in Northern California we always considered anything Malibu or the canyons south to be Southern California. Central California ended at Monterey. Monterey and north is Northern California. The Central Coast starts at Point Conception anything so...

Okay, boys... treat each other with some respect here. I know this is mostly in jest and none should take anything personal. For the most part this topic is off-topic. Back to squabbling about wood vs. foam/glass, fins vs. no fins, little vs. big, wide vs. skinny.... all of which are just an individ...

Ah, my fond memories of N. Oregon paipo waves Right now I am in PR and that is good for me! About 35-40 degrees warmer all around.

Recommendation implemented. Please post a couple more comments on your favorite fins so I know everything is working (I don't have my admin/users guide with me!).

The two recent surf magazine articles submitted by Bob Green are located in the MyPaipoBoards magazine webpage, at: http://mypaipoboards.org/mags/magazines.shtml. Look for: Australian Longboarding Magazine and Surfing World.

I may have to email Beth because our Verizon cell phone service has been very spotty for phone calls and I have no idea what rate plan it would be down here in PR since Verizon sold their network to Claro. I was never able to get a straight answer from Verizon Wireless back in the States. Some peopl...

Actually it was a draw between the gold and the yellow. They couldn't tell the difference of the two out in the water and we both scored the highest groupings of scores. Neal thinks he won the event

I am using Vipers V5 Orange and Yellow Dots, in cool water and warmer water, respectively. The Orange Dot is the flexi blade and the Yellow Dot the stiffer blade. Used Orange Dots for a number of years but noticed that they started to flex too much in warm waters (let's just say tropical waters, 73F...

In the figure below see the orange, yellow and green shirted paipo holders. TeamLunchTray2.jpg Who is that handsome gent in the red? The guy in the Red is the same one that pines for my new girl friend, S&S Checkered RPM. For purposes of this photo the boy in red has his board slanted at at imp...

Rod, Where on the sternum are measuring from? The sternum is actually three bones and is about 8 inches long. Do you mean at the bottom of the sternum? (at the xiphoid process.) More or less ;) Guess pictures sometimes are the best ways of explaining somethings. Basically, when I said, "board ...

Yes, I often score some great surf in Puerto Rico. But, it is not the most consistent surf destination as it is subject to the North Atlantic storm systems that are not as consistent in generating surf as the North Pacific and South Pacific oceans... expect the next 6 days to be rather flat :( Maybe...

I checked the measurements and shot a couple of pics. The center fin is 5" and the trailing edge is just over 3" from the tail.

SJB, if you are light and the board length scales to your sternum (that line between your belly and your chest) then it would no doubt work well for you - I recommend scaling the board length to your sternum and the thickness to the type of wave conditions you will ride the board in -- thin for trop...
