Just an innocent question... are these just "art girls" or is this the short is better movement trend for surfer girls in San Diego?

Thanks to all for your support -- and to my many other friends and to the many strangers that supported me on this quest! The winner will be announced on Feb 27th is my understanding -- the contest closed today -- a chap mustered 94 votes to my 74 votes, on Facebook, while another person led on the ...

On the Facebook site, which seems to be the only one recording vote updates right now, it is neck-and-neck between the Blue Machine and Paipo Boards (me). The Blue Machine seems to have a HUGE family network. I go up by several votes and then he closes in... and so last night I was up by 8 votes and...

Facebook is a good place to vote! Get the family and close friends involved! Go Deep, Go Often!

Paipo Power!

Yes. Stuff the ballot boxes. I am up against some ruthless competition Encourage your Facebook friends vote.

Fun game Go Deep!

Once the ballot stuffing at the Surfing Heritage Foundation webpage is challenged in the Supreme Court of Surfing there will probably be a ruling to use the Facebook results which reflects one vote per registered Facebook user... so, vote here: https://www.facebook.com/questions/326471547389932/?qa_...

The voting has started and I need your vote!!! Our friends at the Surfing Heritage Foundation are running a fun contest, "Found It In The Archives." I am one of the four finalists, and now it's the public's turn to vote! The contest asked its participants to tell a brief story regarding so...

Very interesting looking SuperT twist. It was nice to have many of the dimensions posted -- what are the "conventional" dimensions for this board, including width at the wings and width at the tail (pod) plus the standard width at 12" from the tail. And yeah, the usual wide point, nos...

Damn interesting exhibit. It sure would be nice to get a connection between the foam/glass paipos and what appears to be a wood bellyboard (early in the Loft9gallery blog) and the Simmons/hydrodynamica display and story. I didn't see any explicit narrative on the blog site. Anybody up to doing a fre...

I thought about demanding a 10 percent fee on the sale!

Unfortunately, non-attribution is so typical these days. At least Bob Green is listed as the interviewer, but the website should have been linked, at least the interview page. So blatant!

Many thanks to your original shorts! Saving grace.

The outside break near the point looked fun that I had seen.

Many boards come and go for sale on eBay on a semi-regular basis. What is particularly striking about this item is the 99% inclusion of one of the Paipo Interviews in the sale notice.

I was outside of Mo Bay once, there was nothing breaking. Drove down to the SW coast past Negril and....flat. One guy I talked to said SE towards Kingston had more surf. If you head to JA bring a snorkel and fins....lots to see under the sea. If you have to bring a board you could make a plywood pa...

Swell is coming your way on Feb 8, 9 and maybe 10 (longer?). Look forward to the next update

Austin 44" vs. 50" video: http://youtu.be/b5Lxi8W_zzM Your configuration in the video was noted as: Austin Paipo 44" setup with 3" center fin and 3" side bites Austin Paipo 50" setup with 4" center and 2" sidebites I would be biased towards the 4" center...

Meeting up with y'all in September sounds really fresh. Let me know what dates you pick out. Mr. Mike--thanks for the mat suggestion. That does sound like a solution. Are they easy or difficult to learn? September 8 - 15, 2012, are the dates. We have a relatively stable group of people that go ever...

This may be a stupid question, but has anybody tried using a small rental surfboard as a paipo? I like to travel with just what I can fit into my carry-on bag, especially if I have to change planes on the journey. The problem, of course, is not having the gear you want when you get there. I usually...

I have never been to Hatteras, but it is on my list! Let me know wnen you are heading out to SC. I might be able to make it out. Do you ever snowboard at Cataloochee, Rick? I have been low on time and money this winter, but I usually head out there a few times each season. It is a long drive but co...

Your suggestion of "build your own" reminds me of this story: http://mypaipoboards.org/pubs/BookSummaries.shtml#Ellam_P There are only a few places I can't think of off the top of my head where you might be able to rent: 1) Frog House in Costa Mesa/Huntington Beach 2) Austin Surf Shop, Vir...

That was the nice swell that Paul has been raving about the past couple of days. Looked nice out there. I have not been testing all the different hosting sites -- tried a few and they worked. The forum can now host pics internally. Much detail at this link but it is really easy. http://mypaipoboards...
