Very Happy You know these boards that Hawaii Paipo Designs makes are not new ways of making ancient paipo boards.
They are new way of making a very advanced paipo that was developed around 1960. It's not an ancient board or shape. To the contrary, it was pretty much the final chapter in paipo development.
Paipo development was cut off with the invention of polyethylene when the boogie board was born. Sad thing for some but the Paipo shape that Hawaii Paipo Designs makes was the last in the evolution of this type of board. It is an incredibly hot board. It really smoked everything that came before it (and after it) (especially sponges). Generally speaking, Paipo development was cut off by the invention of the sponge.
HPD's shape came after all the traditional paipo shapes, (The slot bottom, the fish tail shape, the twin fin, the big paipos, and many miscellaneous shapes) . A lot of these boards you will see being made again today. Many of them are very beautiful. Very retro. They all worked really well. HPD's boards are still very different. I am pleased to see so many people getting back into paipo boarding. Hopefully we will (all of us) develop something really new.

Thank you for the clarification, Paul. I wasn't sure how long the HPD shape had been around or when/who/where it had been developed. I noticed that your web site is more fully developed now and look forward to exploring it in the near future.

Also, as you know, we use a very broad definition for paipo boards here - basically any prone riding vehicle that is not a sponge.

Paul,

I was looking through the photos on your site - some of the boards 'Wood paipo on the rocks', "Five Wooden Paipos Sitting on the Beach" (boards on the left) don't look 30" wide like the more modern boards. How wide were these earlier boards?
