Nomas,

It's always interesting trying the same design with and without fins.

If you dip your feet in the finless world again, I'd try a board without channels. John Galera's boards have a single channel but they are a very different design.

In August I have to work hard and I do not have time to do bricolages. but seeing this post, I'm trying to make a paipo without ends, if you need keel would be vector system, on the rail ahead

for this design I have joined ideas from all over with influences from paipos, alaias ..... I am not going to name anyone since it is a very long list. I have not invented anything.

I think it can be a good combination. the rail has a straight side in the tail, with oversized measure, this I have designed it like this, to give more grip in that rail area and give more power to the tail horns. these horns is an over dimension of the tails. subtract some twists with skid but I do not want the sensation of skating on the water


what do you think?

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 this will change the total length of the paipo
