Meeting up with y'all in September sounds really fresh. Let me know what dates you pick out. Mr. Mike--thanks for the mat suggestion. That does sound like a solution. Are they easy or difficult to learn? Both. :D Mat riding has been called the fly fishing of surfing. Easy to pick up the basics, a l...

Totally agree with Kage and know exactly who 'glider's referring too. My bacon's fried too! :lol: Like many others my age, I had a couple shop class plywood paipo/skimboards when I first started surfing back in the 60's but I never realized their potential at the time, victims of peer pressure and ...

Aloha Skip.
Paipo are the coolest. And only the coolest ride 'em.

Most prone riding people probably should not rely on most surf board shapers to make their paipos. Not because they are bad shapers nor because they are prejudiced or bad people. They simply are not tuned to how a prone-ridden board differs from a stand-up board without having ridden one. As it is ...

Boys and girls, this is where semantics matter. :ugeek: See, if a guy wants a paipo , he gets the appropriate lumber or plywood, makes one and goes surfing. 8-) But if a guy wants a bellyboard, he shell's out 600-1000 :o (OZ) dollars after chasing around looking for somebody willing to shape it.

I've been using full size UDT's for several years. Heaps of power and plenty of rubber for modifications if needed.
