hello from a new paipoboard rider
hay yall
I am a 36 year old surfer from the Mornington peninsula Australia only surfing stand up until resonantly when I was on a mission to the hard were shop.
Out of the corner of my eye flashed a cheep sheet of ply wood 2'x4'x1/2" $20 so I bought it,This event changed something and I have surfed the ply board every day from then.THE THING IS SO FAST AND SMOOTH to ride!
I have a fair bit of history building surf craft as a hobbyist and plan on experimenting with the prone paipo side and will shear my development on this forum hope you don't mind.
Am very pleased to find this site look forward to learning about paipo design.

Re: hello from a new paipoboard rider
Hello Hydro-Skiper,
I believe there is a paipo rider on PI and BJ is on the west coast. Jamie Farfor surfed around the Mornington Peninsula and made paipo in the 60s based on the Paipo Nui boards.
I'm hoping to do a day trip to PI or the peninsula in May, as a side trip to Lorne.

Re: hello from a new paipoboard rider
I have some questions about my paipo board
it is getting fury on the botom should i seal it with something or fibre glass it ?
I was looking at other ply paipo's on this site and they are almost triangular in shape compared to my board which is still the same form as when I brought it ie rectangle shape, not knowing enough about paipo thought it would be dumb to molest it. Will it improve the speed or turning capabilities if i modify it the same as those triangular boards.

Re: hello from a new paipoboard rider

Aloha Skip.
Paipo are the coolest. And only the coolest ride 'em.

Paipo surfer in repose,
Nose on the nose,
No grunting he-man pose.
See how fast he goes!
What is it he knows?

Re: hello from a new paipoboard rider
Welcome. Its been long proven that you can ride just about any shape of 3/8" - 3/4" plywood. However, my experience has been the "triangular" shaped boards are the most versatile performance/ maneuverability wise. With this style board, I found it made a big difference how the rear tail corners are shaped. Rounded was dramatically better than sharp or angular.
I've never been able to get into the foam/glass/skegged boards myself. The hard board plus skegs seems more of liability in the kinds of waves I've surfed most of my life (good chance of a slamming closeout barrel). It's obvious that some people get a lot of stoke out of those boards though.

Hey Hydro, I'm over on the westside (Anglesea)! Welcome to the light side! I've been paipo-mad for a few years, check out www.wudsurf.com to see my shenanigans!

Re: hello from a new paipoboard rider
BJ,
I liked the welsh photos and your historic finds. I suspect there are a few sheds in Victoria with these boards stashed away.
Here are two links to old photos of these boards being ridden in Victoria:

Re: hello from a new paipoboard rider
Soulglider,
I'd like to see the photos of the thin finless glass boards sometime.
Hydroskiper,
Send me a pm or go to the bottom of http://home.brisnet.com.au/~bgreen/bgpa ... html#intro and you'll find my e-mail address. When we go to Vic, if it's not work related, my wife likes two days in the city which is about all I tolerate and about a week down the coast. On one of the city days I thought I'd do an escape to the east.
I just checked, the guy who posted on Swaylocks from PI, used the name TomMW. Surfed all sorts of craft including trays.
