PAIPO Foils.
So take the earliest of surfcraft and add the latest fad...
It combines the inherent stability of prone riding with the instant acceleration of foiling.
Maybe a ‘one piece’ design that’s roto molded like a Belly Bogger.

By way of explanation below is a bellybogger created by Dick Ash: http://mypaipoboards.org/interviews/Dic ... 9-09.shtml

Re: PAIPO Foils.
My idea is to make a basic paipo with side supports holding a foil underneath.
Something like this where it’s a single wraparound frame.
But I’m not thinking about all glass as it would be too heavy.

Re: PAIPO Foils.
And possibly reduce weight by cutting out most of the side panels leaving just a front and rear support on each side for the foil.

Re: PAIPO Foils.
Thanks Brett.
I'm assuming the foil is at the rear.
Regarding producing them, have you ridden anything like this?
My mate was experimenting with HDPE, the stuff they make breadboards from.
Regards
Bob

Re: PAIPO Foils.

Re: PAIPO Foils.
I have done a few hydrofoils, the last ones have flown well but I have no talent to handle them. my friends yes
for a bodyboard to fly, you need to have an airplane wing profile, this wing thanks to the speed generates lift.
I have seen this video very fun fly in a bodyboard, it has to be good for the days of strong wind

Re: PAIPO Foils.
I suppose it’s the way the world works, someone works for decades to produce a personal achievement.
And Years later a corporation comes along and exploits the same as their own invention and the world believes it’s true.
But it’s like they don’t have Google on their computer ? If you make a claim at least Google it, but honesty isn’t important.
Just wave a flag of excitement to attract the hordes with money.
What a wonderful world.
Gilbert Lum would be amazed how popular surf foils are, but not so much at the many fathers it seems to have.

Re: PAIPO Foils.
For me, this is the best hydrofoil I have seen in time, patented in 2004, the design and detail of its construction is impressive. A great job and reference if you want to make a good foil

Re: PAIPO Foils.
So here’s a simple foil kit. Its from a single piece of ply.
A The Paipo, a unique X shape that fits the 4 limbs of the rider.
B The struts connecting paipo to foil, Ive curved both ends in to avoid catching kelp or slow board riders. And the long section will sit under the paipo hull to support the elevated riders weight.
C The foil. Why these new foil makers who have to make every foil look like a plane wing, they just don’t understand how a wave works. A simple bullet shape is more pitch stable and safer without the wide slicing wings.
The only question is should I glass or otherwise attach the pieces so I can swap foils ?

Re: PAIPO Foils.
G'day Brett,
From a pragmatic point of view I'd say add on. Given the cost of a board and uncertainty about whether Id like the experience or it suits conditions, I'd go removable. Unless there is another plan up your sleeve about board type. Gilbert Lum's board looks pretty unique.

Re: PAIPO Foils.
Hi Bob, I posted Gilbert’s Foil board in contrast to Terry Hendricks technical version. Both able to do the same thing, but I’d always favour the simpler one. My idea is to show just how simple foil design can be with ply and a few bits to screw on.
I’ll go with the Add-On version.

Don't put any weight on my opinion - it was my 2 bobs worth.

Re: PAIPO Foils.
makes sense tho.
Im thinking of putting an XPS foam skin on the hull for buoyancy.

Re: PAIPO Foils.
Hi Bret
This is my version of your idea. It has Moto GP and F1 influences as well. Does it make sense?

Re: PAIPO Foils.
Hi Chrispi, you don’t need to ask me for advice, Im sure you have enough experience with foils. Probabaly more than me.
I like the minimalist monocoque approach, surfing foils don’t need to be the complex multi wings on a fuselage like they are now, just good design, something simpler like yours is the future of foil design.
Just needs a bit of testing and tweaking to see how it goes.
