I have been riding my H.D. Paipo like a kneeboard. Fun Very Happy but turning is not easy. I have been pretty much drifitng with the bias of the wave and thrashing around trying to turn. Well, maybe not that bad, I did make it through two sections of one wave. Anybody else knee ride a finless paipo? Waves around here lately have been 2-4 mushburgers, maybe bigger would be better? Suggestions appreciated.

There are some hawaiians that do it. They all ride jack stance. Paul knows who they are - I don't. That's pretty much the only way they ride them.

Have you tried one knee further out than the other, so you can shift your weight around differently?

I took my HPD out yesterday -

I just love it!

Trying to go out again today.

It was flat here for weeks.

While ancient surfers didn`t have rectangular sheets of plywood, they did have the water time, athleticism, fine sense of balance and a heritage of sophisticated, finless surfcraft design.

The following paipo riding images could just as easily have occurred centuries ago. Flat, thin, finless and short can successfully be ridden prone, kneeling and standing... no tow-in needed, either:

Thanks for posting those!

My friend, Jaime, saw me on a wave with my HPD yesterday and said "It flies!!!".

Paul is making me a SR right now - I can't wait.
