Re: Selling boards

I have three boards that I need to sell also. Do you want to buy them? I have always ridden either bodysurfing, bodyboards or paipo. I did some mat riding as kid. For a long time I was a purist any only bodysurfed. I think riding prone gives you a better feel of the wave and the view is good too. St...

Re: Design Advice

Hi, If you want make a board like your board, but with rocker, go to Home Depot or somewhere else and buy some 1/8" plywood and laminate it up with the rocker. I used 3 layers for one board and 4 for another. I made a mold out of EPS. But you could use a series of strips of wood of different th...

Re: Board bags

I saw this on the Mini Simmons website. If I ever get to travel again, it looks like it would work pretty well. I have a smaller one from @midnight, but I would need a bigger one for my big board. If you look at the video, it looks pretty good. I don't know, if they will make a smaller one. https://...

Re: Board bags

it looks like @Midnight is no longer making bags. That's a bummer, because the one bag I got from them is very protective. I was going to get a longer bag.

Chest Guard/Rash Guard

Here is something new for me. It is made by Sport Guard. http://sportguard.net/ I have been using a Paddle Air. http://paddleair.com/ergo/ The Paddle Air is a little annoying, because it has an air bladder that can move around. It is also worn outside the wetsuit. This one goes underneath. I have pr...

Re: Can't help myself

Paul, I think it will ride fine. The first board of any new style is us kind of a proto type for me. I haven't tried a hull yet. Bring it to the get together in October.

Re: Paipo Gathering - Oct 8-10, 2017

The two times I went, I had a lot of fun. If you are obsessed with paipo boards like I am, you should make a plans to attend. It only happens about every two years. So don't miss it. It is good to reserve a camping early, because this campground is popular.

Re: Can't help myself

Hi Paul, I also want build a 5 footer, after my next board. I saw this at a used rack local at a local shop. It is a Haut Batman. I was and still am tempted to buy it. It is 5' x 21 1/2 x 2 1/2 with thin rails. It is 18 /12 at 1 foot from the nose and tail. But it is a little thin in the tail and no...

I Saw These

I met this guy in Santa Cruz. He says he had these shaped by Dick Brewer. These are mockups from a mold. They will be composite fiber molded kind of like SurfTech boards. The square nosed is about 48". The round nose is shorter. They have bodyboard like rails. The bottoms have angular channels....

Re: New Mega Platter

Flojo, With this board I was focusing mostly more extension out of turns and down the line speed to get past sections. But I was hoping earlier take offs and foam take offs as well. I am a slow kicker. So anything into a wave the better (My dream). It did achieve both of those things. It is mostly i...
