Re: Are there any Commercial Paipos available on the market
Maybe Paipo Nui. There are some contemporary builders that meet your criteria like HPD and the UK builders of "traditional surfboards. Well if you're gonna include Val Valentine's Paipo Nui then you should also include Aussie Jamie Farfor's boards. Interesting essay by Jamie on his production ...

Re: Today's Oregon Paipo Pics
5/4 although IMHO a 4/3 will work in the mid-50's water temp on a sunny day in the summer. I used to wear a 4/3 all the time but I have plenty of natural insulation!

Re: Pirate Fish Alaia Remo II
Using 5'x5' sheets of alternating cross grain Baltic Birch plywood with a light sheathing of 1.6 or 2 oz. tight weave, high thread count glass and some Resin Research epoxy for laminating the glass and as a sealant should be just the ticket. I had a picture of just such a layup that I used as a repl...

Re: Pirate Fish Alaia Remo II
You shouldn't be fighting currents but using them. And for getting under heavy whitewater; the lighter and thinner the better.bgreen wrote:If you have to kick/paddle against any significant current a super thin board will be hard work

Re: Today's Oregon Paipo Pics
Sometimes the coldest water temps here in Oregon are in the summer when the incessant NW winds cause an upwelling of deep and cold water right on the coast. I went out at Yachats once in July and the water was 46 F! It's usually always warmer offshore:

Re: a good day for ear plugs
I'm glad to see you corrected some of your bogus Florida claims after being appropriately schooled. I'll continue to monitor your posts as a public service to the members of this forum. BTW, the confirmation of a Hammerhead in the La Jolla death was by an eyewitness.

Re: a good day for ear plugs
Uncle Grumpy says: "Central Coast? SLO/Morro < > SF" Well technically Jalama and Tarantula's are Central Coast since they are north of Point Conception but I'd put the southernmost break on the Central Coast at Surf beach on Vandenberg AFB. It certainly is sharky enough. A surfer was eate...

The swell was running around 5 feet @ 17 seconds. Lot's of overhead faces for sure at the spot where we were.
