After a few weekends spent hollowing out, routing, and shaping, the paipo is done. Here's the results. I haven't had a chance to get her into any real good waves yet, but from what I have ridden on it, I'm stoked. This one is 4' even. I'm thinking of making the next one somewhere in the 4'6-5' range, just to see what happens when you go longer. I had knee boarding in mind most of the time for this one, but I would like to have a stand-up paipo as well. This one just doesn't have quite enough floatation to stand on. For the next one I plan on reducing weight more and adding more floatation by hollowing out even more of the board.
