Re: versions of gus acosta?

I also think it's a Fins excessively, but we do not know what wave size and sea condition will enter I'm refining the design of my paipo, in a little while I'll have time to make it. maybe later this week I have doubts with the tail, that I have to make templates and see how my legs work without bot...

Re: versions of gus acosta?

It is very very beautiful, what a great job. Congratulations

How is a paipo of this style compared with a without horns?

The idea attracts me a lot, your design is practically what I have in my head

It is a way to channel the water along the entire length of the paipo, sta...

Re: versions of gus acosta?

I have delayed the position of the keels, I do not think it is necessary anymore since the horns will also do this duncion, it would be something like a quad. I do not know if I'm wrong Regarding the horns and blows in the soft parts of the legs, and I have thought, if I find it dangerous, but I thi...

versions of gus acosta?

Every day I enjoy more of the paipo, little by little I strengthen the tendons of the feet, sometimes they give me cramps in the fingers and I have to go out with one hour in the water but I have forgotten completely about the surfboard, the paipo has returned the smile to my face. who I want to say...

Re: TBXL

I encourage you to keep working on this idea. I am also in it. I saw your design a long time ago, it is interesting, but the nose of the paipo practically never touches the water, so putting a boat nose is not a good solution. I think the work has to focus on the middle part of the tail, there is wh...

I am studying the ways of refining, and I really like the work of gus acosta, I see it very interesting, I think that tail shape would be interesting for my design of paipo, I have made a few designs but I do not finish deciding what can be the most compensated of a depth of 2.5 to 4. depends on thi...

Re: paipo 50 inch drop knee?

If the board has fins you can even kneeboard it if big enough, although maybe the drop knee stance allows better control, I don't know People sometimes surf standup on regular bodyboards so I would imagine you could also kneeboard! https://youtu.be/121rDxTmxdw Standup or drop knee, you still have s...

Re: paipo 50 inch drop knee?

I've been watching those bodyboards before starting to design the paipo, in the photo that I've put on the left, there is a bodyboard based on the sizes of the carter and the tail of Vector the design of the medium is a transformation of that bodyboard to paipo but keeping the rails the same. this h...

paipo 50 inch drop knee?

good morning, I am enjoying the waves with my paipos, I am very happy. but like before surfing. I'm very tempted by the idea of the drop knee. I can not do it with the designs of my paipos, they are very unstable. I can not do a kneeboard. It's too long to take it on a motorcycle so I've started res...

For me, this is the best hydrofoil I have seen in time, patented in 2004, the design and detail of its construction is impressive. A great job and reference if you want to make a good foil http://mypaipoboards.org/hydrofoil/paipo_hydrofoil.shtml http://mypaipoboards.org/patents/US7144285_hydrofoil_p...

Re: PAIPO Foils.

I have done a few hydrofoils, the last ones have flown well but I have no talent to handle them. my friends yes for a bodyboard to fly, you need to have an airplane wing profile, this wing thanks to the speed generates lift. I have seen this video very fun fly in a bodyboard, it has to be good for t...

Re: Top vs Bottom Layers of Composite

my first surfboards were with eps of 25 kg / m3 density 1.5lb / ft3, they do not take hardness or putting many fiberglass fabrics I have discovered that the super light boards are not good, they float too much and do not let you turn, you do not sing the ridges in the water, the surfboards tend to s...
