|
|
I’m new to the site but so far it looks good. I am from Tynemouth in the UK. I have ridden bodyboards for years but fancied something a bit different. My mate shapes surfboards so we came up with this. It’s a cross between a Paipo, bodyboard and a surfboard and it rides so well!!
It is shaped from XPS foam and epoxy glass. The dimensions are 45 1/2" x 23" x 2 3/4". The rails are rounded 70/30 and made up of 6 strips of 5mm balsa. The bottom is flat to rolled with a 2+1 fin set up.

Many shapes, many variations and many work well.
What kind of fin boxes are you using -- they appear very narrow/thin? _________________ rodNDtube

The sides are FCS and the centre is your normal longboard box. The pictures dont show the boxes, my mate sank ply wood strips for support under tight turning. Time will tell how well they will work but so far so good |
