Standup or drop knee, you still have some leverage provided by the legs/foot position on the board, that you may not have if you just kneeboard it ? I don't know. I tried to kneeboard bodyboards or finless plywood paipo sometimes, the popup part is not that hard, but avoiding side slipping seems to be quite difficult.GeoffreyLevens wrote:People sometimes surf standup on regular bodyboards so I would imagine you could also kneeboard!zensuni wrote:If the board has fins you can even kneeboard it if big enough, although maybe the drop knee stance allows better control, I don't know

Re: paipo 50 inch drop knee?
I'm making a surfboard to a friend, based on the design the cast, shoft board, but he wanted a channel pronounced in the middle, that gave him direction grip, to take power and make jumps, radical gross maneuverszensuni wrote:Standup or drop knee, you still have some leverage provided by the legs/foot position on the board, that you may not have if you just kneeboard it ?

this idea could be applied to the paipo dk so as not to have side slides, I do not intend to do a 360. my talent in the waves does not reach as much

Re: paipo 50 inch drop knee?
Channels have some of that effect, depending a lot on how they are shaped i.e. rounded transition to the flat part of bottom of board holds, sharp edge transition releases and I don't know but may hold less than plain flat. Even on 6 foot alaia with significant channel running down the center of the board it is easy (too easy for me) to release the tail and spin the board. On a much shorter paipo the effects will be less so less hold than the 6 footer for same proportion channel

Re: paipo 50 inch drop knee?
a quick sketch by solidworks. like this idea I do not know in what size it would work well for me, I am not a great surfer and I do not have talent, but I have a lot of fun in the water which is the most important thing
could go in a measure of 44.5 to 51 measured 1.77 cm and weight 78kg. more with wetsuits
it's a quick design, the quillan do not know where to position them ... it's just a torment of ideas

with fins on feet and my finless paipo (standard DK) he found it impossible

Wegeners tuns is where I stole my paipo hulls from works very well. i think it took him around 18 trys/prototypes to get it right.GeoffreyLevens wrote:And don't forget Tom Wegener's Albacore
