I was wondering who was going to break the silence. We went 25 days without a posting in the Design & Building section. I'll have to get photos of my latest projects...a rail fin paipo and a Cornish style roundtail.

That board's breaking the rules! It's nekkid! And oak, if I'm not mistaken?? I thought oak would be too heavy for a paipo.

The paipo forums exist for breaking the standard "rules" of waveriding. Just don't break the forum rules!

I have made boards out of all kinds of wood they all work I got one out of black walnut one of my favorites it is not about floation it is about how well they plane the exter wight does not matter in the water as a matter of fact a little heavyer board hold the speed .

Although I have deep misgivings about the concept of "nekkid" and pointy tails...
