this is what I've been using to Paipo!
way faster than a sponge.
Vintage Skimboard from the 80's.
currently designing a more traditional shape, with a few twists.

Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii.
Grew up on Oahu and remember watching the paipo boarders at Walls in Waikiki. 50 years later thinking maybe it's time to give it a try.

I cut down a skim board into a mini paipo. Works pretty good!

It's amazing what works. The design world is never ending.

I've thought of trying that but don't relish trying to get around in the line-up without any float. Skimboards get left behind on my beach occasionally, for some reason. I've got two and have seen others, but I've yet to see anyone skimboarding locally at more than a beginner level.

I'm inspired.....Thanks Bill.
Had this knocking around for years, unused and needing minor repair.
I will make it watertight and try as-is and then maybe consider a chop job to the rear.

I've made some mini paipos out of badly damaged wood skimboards. Often the nose end of the skimboard has too much rocker, so I make something out of the middle of the skimboard. These are just over twenty inches long.
May be an image of surfboard
