MyPaipoBoards Forums

The board definitely has flatness in the middle. Later today I will see if my son can take pics and post it in here.

David, I, just like you, made the switch from riding mats. Paipos definitely feel different. I have never ridden a Wegener, but I have ridden another brand that uses con caves on the bottom. It was way slower than my flat bottom plypos. When it comes to a wood board, I have not ridden anything bette...

I do not remember paipos at his shop in Reseda. But then again I was between 10 and 14 wanting to use a surfboard, so ...

Hi Bob,

I think we would be talking in the early 1970's. His shop closed in the later part of the decade. He was really nice to us kids!

Glad to hear that your maiden voyage was a success! Since our session swapping boards, I have been riding my Xylem, HPD, and a new plypo I made that is a modified bodyboard template that my son uses. The design works well in plywood, but with Josh's rolled bottom ( that is his boards :oops: ), and k...

I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and used to go hang out at Danny's surf shop after school. If I remember correctly, the name of his shop was Guenther Glass.

I had Josh make me a 50" x 20" x 1.25" board and have been surfing it a lot the last nine months. First, to compare it to the same board out of 3/8" marine plywood that is dead flat with squared rails. The Xylem has way more float - it is not neutrally buoyant. I put a leash plug...

Very nice looking board. What are the dimensions on it? Is that mostly paulownia wood? Get some more waves this weekend, it is supposed to be picking up!

There are no dimentions there, only dimensions. I need more sleep.

The Light Side... the dark side rides long boards!

So I suppose next we are gonna drink wine spritzers?

Welcome to the dark side

This is deja-vu. Here we go again

My son and I love to surf together. Having a killer wave is great, but watching my son do it - priceless!

I used to spend $5 to fill the tank on my 66.

Who would have guessed a direct correlation between driving a squareback and riding a paipo!

That is not a fastback, it is a squareback! My first car was a 1966 VW Squareback. I really miss that car

When I am buried at sea, I prefer to be dead first

SJB,

We have already proven that you ca not read

Nice waves; where are all the snakes

I love uncrowded waves!

Isn't this similar to the boards that Stan Osserman makes?
