Hey Bob,
Like so many of Tom's ideas, I don't think the fins went any farther than his experiments.

Re: A Ripple in the Force
Of all the famous "surfers" I've known, Tom might be my favorite. Tom Morey was one of the nicest smartest coolest surfiest people ever. He will be remembered as the creator of the Boogie board but he was so much more. The man was a certified genius and I will miss him. FWIW "Boogies&...

Re: Latest Paipo
Very Nice.
FWIW,
Boat builders have a long held superstition against using walnut in watercraft.
It's known to them as "coffin wood".
I wouldn't worry about it tho'.

Re: Anyone from Santa Monica on the forum?
Ahoy Bob,
Might want to revise your title.
Santa Monica is in their name and their email address but the company is in Tracy, 300 miles north of Santa Monica and about 70 miles east of San Francisco.
IIRC OG AZN and Poobah are the closest.

Re: Nose thickness
Mike Stewart has a couple videos that go into the details of skillfully riding a BB much of which can be applied to Paipo riding as well.
The sound quality on this one is pretty awful but it's worth watching.

Re: Quad Concave Body Board Study
The first alaia I built was slightly oversize. Over time I slowly paired it down little by little eventually thinning it out to to where it was thin enough to flex enough to really give some spring back when it was pushed. Less than 3/8ths" It was the best thing ever. It felt alive and was such...

Re: Non Skinny Paipo
Given the reasons for the nose design, does it add much thickness? You'd assume it does but the nose rocker would thin it out a bit. Has it been in the water yet? I naturally used the cut off from the front of the board for the scarf to get the increased nose rocker, handle and leash plug into the ...
