MyPaipoBoards Forums

I made a deal with a guy I met at the Slyder cup last year, who tried out my friends Board to buy if off him and get off a bodyboard onto a foam and fibreglass paipo for a good price.

This way I get to make my local friend a new board and I get more shaping practice.

I have gone 1" longer as he is 6ft+ and gone back to the chine rail/ front up rail. Also trying out a different tail, this one has Corner "pegs" very similar to the typical crescent bodyboards I prefer. Other than that same as previous boards. Used a standard blue foam 5.10RP US blanks for this one. will be glassed 6 bottom and 6+4 top.

I moved the template up to gain the extra 1" nose (see pic)

Krusher,

A new career looming? A 25% increase in paipo riders in Wales.

Bob

He lives in devon/england so 0% increase in riders in wales

LOL, i'm not giving up my (part time) day job!

If someone wanted a board I would happily make them one, but so far all the people I have met who are into diversification of wave riding vehicles as usually also a "maker" and are on there own journey of board discovery.

I do have a shaper logo in the pipeline though!

Post the logo when it's done.

Did Malcolm take any wave shots of that day at spot X?
