Hey, folks! My name is Sam. I'm a 17 year old bear from Southern California, and I've been building things with my dad since I was old enough to turn screws. I've never built a board before, (For that matter, I've never ridden one) but I've been interested in alaias and paipos for quite some time. While I lean more towards alaias, I'll probably build a paipo as well as an alaia over the coming summer.

I know it may seem like a foolish thing to do, building a board without any experience with one, but that's why I came to the forum. I did a bit of lurking before Lee confirmed my membership, and it seems that many people here know what they're doing. So I ask you all for your patience and your sage advice in boardbuilding as I stumble my way through my first board.

Cheers!

welcome to the site lots of good info here. I also started makeing thing with my dad when I was old enought to hold a hammer 50 some years ago. what I would say to you is start simple get some good ply wood at the homedepot and make a paipo at about 48' long and about 18" wide you pick the shape ( check this site ) use about 4 to 5 coats of spar varnish then try it out then see if you like it the Very Happy

Sounds like a plan. The one on the far left of this photo seems like a decent model to start with, so I'll work on building one of them as soon as I can gather materials. I live in San Diego, so do you know if any local lifeguards would give me any guff about building a board right there on the beach, so long as I keep the place clean?

Right now you can't even build a house near the beach, because of Summer prohibitions. If you try to shape a board at the beach, you will attract the attention of the lifeguards, the water quality board, the Minister of Funny Walks, and the thugs from the Polystyrene Workers Union.

Much as I appreciate the offer, I don't have any transportation. I have plenty of tools, though, so we'll see what I can come up with!
