From Dr. Robert - Quam/Moynier Paipo Pod

Unread post by rodndtube »

From the desk of Dr. Robert Moynier:
The "grandfather" of all these boards is to the far left... the Theisz/Froiseth design that has spawned all the others in the pic's. Jeff Quam will have to fill in the details on his boards... mine you have seen and heard about before elsewhere.

Our surf session was a relatively marginal go-out but excellent conditions, no crowd, and very fun with hollow, small, mostly closing out stuff. For my part, it was gratifying to watch Jeff jump on my two Bonzer paipos and basically haul ass and get
tubes right off the bat. A good day in Paipo land.

I am jealous of that Trout Mask Replica artwork. It really looks sweet.

Interesting line up!

I notice a lot of very far forward wide points and straight rails, i would like to try a board that shape, I would guess there fast but are they stiff to turn? track?
