Posted: Thu Apr 01, 2004 11:03 am Post subject: Hawaiian Designs Paipo Question |
|
|
I have been riding my H.D. Paipo like a kneeboard. Fun but turning is not easy. I have been pretty much drifitng with the bias of the wave and thrashing around trying to turn. Well, maybe not that bad, I did make it through two sections of one wave. Anybody else knee ride a finless paipo? Waves around here lately have been 2-4 mushburgers, maybe bigger would be better? Suggestions appreciated. |

There are some hawaiians that do it. They all ride jack stance. Paul knows who they are - I don't. That's pretty much the only way they ride them.
Have you tried one knee further out than the other, so you can shift your weight around differently?
I took my HPD out yesterday -
I just love it!
Trying to go out again today.
It was flat here for weeks. |
