When I was a kid we surfed on everything. Skimboard used as paipo board? Sure! Unglassed blank given us by Jeff Hakman? Why not? That was kind of itchy. Skegless wonder that was rotting in neighbor's back yard? Let's go!

My grandfather had a wine import business and had the warehouse make us some Paipo boards up out of old wine crates, they weighed a fair bit but were fast on the waves.

Look for some birch ply if you're down for home made boards, or check online for balsa ply.

Down time this season has you getting radical. There was a Hawaiian guy in the 1950's who'd show up in Bud Browne films riding a paipo, at Makaha and other places. He'd ride prone, on knees or even stand-up on this little paipo. It was actually pretty impressive. His name is escaping me. He may have gotten a little pub in Nat Young's history of surfing book. Considering that the alternative equipment was all 10'+ and more than 50lbs. - he was actually getting pretty radical, by the standards of his time. I think Romanosky even started out on Paipos - and perhaps graduated on to knee-riding, in that fashion.

I had a paipo board when I was a kid and am also getting interested in mats because when I retire back home to Hawaii in a few years I'll be on a really tiny budget so owning a car is out of the question. I can roll up a mat and take it on the bus and mayyyyyyyybe a paipo not sure. But they're saying mats go super fast, and I was thinking, how can a mat go faster than a standard surfboard?? Well, I realized, it's the fact that you're lying down. It makes a huge difference even though you're going 10-20MPH the "aero" makes an enormous difference.

I could have used that last week in NC. Puny waves, wind swell, sectioned & lots of close outs. Had some fun on the boogey board, but drop-ins with almost zero face time gets old fast.

Nice, at least you got in the water, thats the important part. This paipo is super ghetto, but so much fun in the water, and barrel catching machine!

I didn't see you zipping along in the beach break and almost ran over you, I don't think you even noticed . Lots of middle school age kids out in the break.
