Have you asked John Clark about paipo content? John or own of the collectors he knows may have access to the book.

Bob

No, I have not queried anyone.

When this book came up on Surf Blurb, I noticed that it was already listed on the Paipo Biblio in the "to be obtained" section. Good job guys. http://mypaipoboards.org/bibliography_MyPaipos.shtml Nice postal card find, Poobah. Look forward to adding your scans to the collection. I added t...

Gotta love the outfit of the outrigger guy!

This appeared on Joe Tabler's weekly Surf Blurb eMail, compliments of Allen Kukel. The book was on eBay. Apparently the book has many illustrations. Any more paipo boarding do ya think?

Nodaway, Max. 1908. Rollo in Hawaii. Chicago: Thompson & Thomas.

Pretty board. Hopefully there will be swell between now and FL so you can give it a solid workout. I am out of commission for the near future... should be able to paddle out at FL on June 2nd, but that will be touch and go. Need to let my ribs & associated tissue to heal so I can surf with aban...

Rod, It has been flat,flat, flat here. I have the 44" set up with 2" turbo side bites and 3" center set way back. It worked OK in slop, but I haven't had it out in real surf. Ideally, I would have a board caddy and water videoman to facilitate board swapping and documentation. I thin...

Similar to S&S and a little bit thinner than Checkered RPM Black and Blue -- specs link from this page:

It happened. I succumbed to another dosage, another shot of S&S Model of the Checkered RPM. Turns out that I needed a replacement S&S RPM after leaving my namesake board in Costa Rica for safe keeping until my next trip there. Board fees and such have just become to expensive and complicated...

Ted: I was talking to Austin yesterday during the pick-up of a new board. He is very interested in how the 44" version is working out. Have you been able to ride it much the past couple of months?

Very interesting!

Noticed that only about a dozen or so surf spots were listed.

http://www.hyprnalu.com/#!vstc24=retro-boards Paipo boards at the Hyprnalu site. I'll go have a look next week. Sounds like it might be one of their carbon fiber boards. Check it out... and get some waves! Paul surfed Pine Trees yesterday and some of the other south Kona spots earlier on that south...

Rod, Did you get to ride the wave arrow when you were here? (and how was it?) Ted I only paddled it out one day, probably the smallest day of the lot on the Big Island. Didn't last long on it as I had trouble adjusting to the length, width and total volume. However... I did get a favorable taste fo...

I noticed that a company going by that or a similar name had moved southeast of Culver City, still in the heart of LA. Compton maybe?

Received some additional pics of the Gordon Theisz board. Here is a nose view of the handle. Is that what appears to be a leash hole?

This is a board I normally expect to read about from Nels or Poobah (they probably have in the past!). It is another "board" showing up on eBay. A quick Internet search revealed only two other citations, a very short post on one of the surfing mag forums and the other on the surfmatters bl...

Rod, I thought there used to be a facility to contact the seller direct rather than signing into ebay and asking? Is my recollection wrong? I was thinking of asking if the seller had been the original owner/surfed it? The interviews have now turned up as links to a few ads. Bob It appears you have ...

LOL... Malibu and Zuma in Central California More like Northern Los Angeles, eh?

Tons of design niceties in Gus's board -- little things that help the prone rider, not to mention his entire board bottom evolution. I would like to try it in a narrower version -- 23 inches is just too wide for me.

Here is a rare offering, a Gordon Theisz board:
