Hi yall! I stumbled across this site after looking on the net for stories and info on flex spoons. Im a kneeboarder, live in Ventura and have been away from surfing for the last 10 years. We just moved back here to Ventura and have the urge to get back in the water. I surfed from the age of 16 to about 33. My Son started showing interest in surfing so I took him out to a safe spot to let him try out a longboard. I "tried" to catch a few on my kneeboard but the waves were too soft. I did have a great time watching him get stoked. Anyway long story short I became very interested in this "Paipo" so I ended up calling Paul from Hawaii Paipo Design( what a nice guy!). He told me all about paipos and how even a big guy like me could fly on most any wave. I took my Son to the Point, waist to chest high kinda mushy. My son stood on my kneeboard and to experiment I took out my older Son's skimboard. Im sure a few were scratching their heads. I caught two waves with it and was amazed that i could ride a mushy wave on a peice of plywood. Im now going to order a board from Paul but in the mean time I think I wanna make one. Any way kinda long winded but thats where I am now. Just wanted to introduce myself and post a hello to all you wave riders.
