MyPaipoBoards Forums

Well I love my first board from my other thread, but I have battered the crap out of it, I was surfing it 6 days a week for 3 months solid on my cali trip and its pretty dinged up.

So good excuse for A new one!! I'm off back to G-land for a think my 8th trip there and am so stoked to be taking a paipo instead of my usual bodyboard. I'm just dreaming of the sections i;m gonna be able to make i could not before.

The first board had no real floors so NO2 is pretty much a copy, we went 1/8" thicker for a little more float (mostly for when i am back in wales in weak waves)

Left a little more thickness in the tail, which will life my legs more (less drag)

Slight less nose rocker/entry rocker/

A let the deep single concave run further forward in the board, rather start from the midpoint.

The last board performed without flaws, so I hope i have not screwed up by changing a few things!!!

I also went for a rounded nose on this one rather than the pint of the last mainly due to more comfort when holding the nose, and i also prefer the look of the new one.

The following pics were taken more on the arty side as i just got a new camera, I will add more simple pics that show real shape when its glassed.

Going for a red resin tint and a white deck on this one.

more pics

Ok finished pics

Been out on the paipo over the last few days at G-land, goes well, different to my last board bit more volume and less concave has made it a little more toward suited for smaller waves

Krusher, your photo mate with paipo successfully arrived to Costa Rica this afternoon after his marathon trip from G-Land. Like the looks of the SDF in this photo (of course, I would need to pop a few fins on!). Nicely done elbow pads. Terry spoke highly of his days with you at G-Land What a coincidence to meet on the boat!

Krusher,

How was the setup and surf at G-land? Got any photos?

Hi, I found the NO2 red board had a little to much volume for a wave like G-land, it was fine to surf and caused no problems, i just felt more at home on the No1 board with less volume.
I think this board will be great for less powerful welsh waves though.

Hi,I really enjoyed my time there with Terry and crew, was as you said a big coincidence to be on the same boat out there! We had a great last surf on his last day, just the two of us on a further up the reef section getting some fun rides.

I made the elbow pads from the back end of a knee board deck pad a friend had that he was not using, works great.

Some FCS fin boxes could be dropped in easily!!
