Hey eef - I dig what you're doing. One of these days I'm going to score some plywood and make a classic paipo too. Thanks for the inspiration... and thanks to all you guys who take it back to basics ...

bgreen, you must be stoked about that Wegener paipo though; what's it like?

Cool board... also, nice to see the Vedic deity in the background.

Hmmm... I'm not so sure about those rail cutaways; I think that even at 25" I would've left out that feature. But hey, the proof's in the riding. I met those 9Fish guys at last fall's Surf Expo ...

No question paipo is da kine. We're finally starting to get tropical swellage here in FL now, and yesterday late afternoon I went to the Canaveral Jetties. I was out there virtually alone dropping i ...

plypo - I'm very stoked by your site. You provide a link to WeAreH2O and the Drifting column. That was my column, having been asked by the site creator to do it. Though known locally in the past as ...

There's also some movement down here in Melbourne; a man and his girlfriend saw my wife and me paipoboarding a few weeks back and are having our own Tom Neil ...

I have a friend named Man O War who's a Santa Crustacean.

For sure, I'm not talking seriously about being prideful... only about how cool paipo riding is, and how lucky we are. "The few, the proud..." ... just a play on that Marine slogan.

I often feel a ...

I think that if I had ONE friend follow my lead and show real interest in paipo, I'd probably have a heart attack. After we made the Mysterious Turtle, my solid balsa paipo, one guy did get Robinson ...

Dang, this is one sluggish forum! I guess it makes sense... my friends, we are a precious few, we riders of paipo. We all know that our way is supreme, yes? And just look at the world of surfing; f ...

I have some Redleys that have never been really comfortable. They finally got so painful that I recently got some Viper yellow dots, and they were absolute torture devices... "iron maidens" for the f ...
