Hey Unc, you ride those long ones prone? How is that for maneuverability vs other, shorter designs of paipo? How tall are you just for referencing board length vs body length? I would imagine mucho speed.

Yes, for me this is a prone board.
Modeled after Tom Wegener's "Finley"
http://www.tomwegenersurfboards.com/html/alaia.html
I'm 6'2" and 200lbs.±
The longer boards are not super maneuverable but with some experience they are capable of nice smooth turns.
They are really fast but probably their best quality is they excel at making tiny waves more fun.
The next board in the works is a short & wide model for dumping shore break..... Cool

Thank you UG. I suspected. I have Finley fantasies just shorter for my 5'3" height. Also, similar shape but shorter and maybe a bit wider up to 18"...
