Re: Godspeed Paipo # 1
I agree that in terms of maneuverability, the floatty bodyboard for instance is far superior to plywood boards. I like to go fast down the line on small waves, so I am willing to sacrifice maneuverability to the benefit of pure speed (or at least the feeling of it), I think that's why I am happy with my flat plywood "longboard" paipo. But someone who rides bigger waves, who do a lot of cut backs and manoeuvers, would probably need something more technic with more volume. So all in all, it is definitely a matter of personnal preference, the kind of waves you ride and the kind of feeling you seek ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
