Ok, so I have just cut out a blank for my next wood paipo. (no pics at the moment cus Im in school) its in the shape of a tombstone, 48" tall, 21" wide at the sholders, and 14" wide tail.
Are these dems. any good? I am also gonna put two halfmoon keel fins on.
Ill post pics later...

Hi,
I don't think the dims are bad but I'd say leave out the keels. You don't need them with nice sharp rails. I made a pinewood tombstone-shaped paipo with a little concave at the back and it works fine. Mine's dimensions were 17" tapering to about 14 at the tail. |

I have a 3/4" thick ply board about the same dimensions as Littlefoot's. Maybe a 1/2" wider in the nose & tail. That board is loose & good in the barrel. but I found the 14.5" tail too narrow to spin the board with. Just finishing up a tombstone shaped board that's 44" x 20.5" x 19". Shaped this one for knee/ drop knee riding. Hope to test it soon. |
