Hello Robert,

Paipo boards have been influenced by a number of individuals such as Greenough and Simmons, however, the two distinctly bellyboard designs are John Waidelich's guitar pick Paipo Nui and Wally Froiseth's twin finned, tombstone shaped board with a handle. Any progress with the plan to document the lineage from Froiseth?

The seller is a former roommate of Gordon Theiz. He says he hasn't spoken to Gordon in decades. The board has been relisted at $450.

Poobah,

I've not heard anything. Do you have a name or any contact details?

Bob
