Hi, I'm wondering when it comes to a small wave board, what dimensions work better? Does it need to be longer like an alaia, or wider like a HPD style? I want to build another board for mushy onshore days
Cheers

Re: Small wave paipo
Alaia is 48" inches and up. Hawaii Paipo Design has it's range on wide tail to their specific board heights. Shape one like a snow board and try that shape and height could range 32" inches and up. It's should be to that person size and height. Good luck!Aph wrote:Hi, I'm wondering when it comes to a small wave board, what dimensions work better?
