Here's my take on Trevor Yamamoto's "shed door" paipos. Its a touch longer than my hpd-style boards, and I flared the tail out a bit to give it slightly parabolic rails. I'm hoping that this will give me more hold in the steeper sections, without sacrificing the speed of a nice flat, wide paipo! The last couple that I made with fins hold in really well, but they are nowhere near as fast as the flat, finless boards.

^^+1, haha. Wow Kid, I'm flattered. Let me know how it rides.
What's the length of your version? I like how you narrowed the nose area down from my first shed door board. I went that route with the paipo I made over the summer in Hawai'i and really liked the way it rode. I found my first ply paipo ( the inspiration for the shed door boards) in my parent's garage on that Hawai'i trip. It was a bit narrower in the nose than the "shed door"and I used it as a template for the nose and mid -section. I kept the basic tail shape of the shed door boards. These boards will definitely hold in the steep ones once you set the rail.

Hey there Trevor, I didn't realise you were on here! Your first one also looks like it has slightly parabolic rails too! I made mine 47' long, with a 23' tail, and the nose (12' down) is 18' wide. Its 12mm or 1/2' marine ply. I'm sealing it with the usual urethane, and I used an oil-based stain to give it the reddish colour. I'll post a ride report, as soon as I ride it!

Trevor,

Is it just me or can others only see part of the photos. If it's a general problem can the photos be re-sent?

regards

Bob

My first board was either 5/8" or 3/4" thick ply. I was probably just out of 8th grade when I made that one. Had no idea what a parabolic rail was at the time, but the shape was influenced by the paipos I saw the older guys riding, the twin fish boards of the day, and bodyboards. I did have the idea that the flare in the tail corner would help hold on the face. Seems to work. My boards are all about 42" - 42.25 " in length & 21.75" across the tail. The new ones are all 1/2" thick ply. The nose on the "shed door" is about 18.5"; the original probably around 17.5".

Bob,
I can see all the pics I embedded. If you can't resolve the issue, I can e-mail them to you.

Hello Trevor,

Weird. Today I can view them just fine. Thanks for the e-mail offer.

Looks like you are still getting a few waves. Do you still ride a boogie board?

regards

Bob

^ glad you got it to work Bob. Yeah, still riding bodyboards along with paipos & bodysurfing. Messed around w/ a mat awhile back too. Not too much stand up riding lately. Hope you guys are getting some good ones down there.

Hey there Trevor, I rode mine today in small but clean and fast conditions, and I have to say, this design really works! I'm addicted to the speed of the superman style which I learned on the HPD style board. But I find that they are very difficult to hold a high line in a steep pocket. Your shape is still very fast, and trims well in the forward or superman position, but you can rock back into a more body-board posture, and turn it well too! I was amazed at how fast this board goes without feeling at all like the rail was going to release and slide! Thanks heaps for sharing your ideas and your boards! I love this forum for the sheer depth and quality of unique and functional surfcraft!!!!

^ Good to hear Kid. Put together some POV footage playing around on one of the shed doors over the past few months. Hope to get some better video as the fall / winter season progresses:
