Bit of 90's history

Paipo Bodyboards evolved in the early 90′s were the brainchild of John Holmes from the Central Coast in the early 90′s. Dave Appelby(pictured) and PJ Hyland were the first team members. The name was later changed to Rheopaipo due to copyright.

Keith, is this an advertisement in a magazine or some other promotional material?

Trivia time: In Uruguay, "paipo" is the general term used for all surfing.

I found it as the bodyboard museum website, I would guess at a magazine advert
