Re: Wood Paipo
Board been going well for me only take out if there been a swell or a lower tide. Had a couple pics shot of me a few weeks ago, I'm working on riding it malolo style. I did get a wave that I rode that way and it felt so freeing, unreal feeling. Mahalo Jarret again maybe one day I can bring her home.

Re: Wood Paipo
Here's some pics from this weekend. My highlight was when I was paddling back out to the line up and a guy said "was that you riding without hands?"
This board has been what I've been riding pretty exclusively everyday. Took my cork board out last week cause I felt I was neglecting it . The foam TC is in Italy now with Bellyrider, we just didn't get along. But really just wasn't the feeling I was looking for and I know I found it on these thin boards. Do they take a little more work? Yes but the reward is worth it to me.

I like riding superman style, first because it is fun to do, second because it puts a smile on paddling out surfers who see you
