Hey Guys, I'm back online, after a drawn out house move and no internet connection for nearly a month! I've been making boards that whole time though! Here's a few that I turned out over the holidays!
Three English-style bellyboards
A smaller version of the classic OG-AZN shed door paipo, slighty smaller and narrower than the last one I made. I'm planning on using this one in the hollower waves we get here over winter.
And a plain old tombstone paipo which I made from an off-cut I had lying around!

BJ,
So may spots to choose from. It's not somewhere imposible is it?
I don't have a tripplanned for down your way but I'd sure like to try some of those rees near BR sometime.
Can you remind me who made that fibreglass bellyboard that you showed me?r
regards
Bob |

Yup! Impossible!
Any time you head down, you're welcome at Rancho Deluxo! We have a couple of spare rooms, and we're still only 10 minutes from Bells!
I don't know who shaped that board, but it was bought from Strapper. I'm gonna get it restored so that I can ride it soon!
Cheers,
BJ.

Bj,
Thanks. I think I've only surfed it once, outers with my mate Lud who regularly surfs there. He's an older guy with a beard and a white gath helmet.
regards

Pretty much! Apart from the fact that we've had almost no swell, and its been onshore winds for weeks! Oh well, you can't win all the time!
