Mike Jipp, owner of the Lincoln City Surf Shop here in Oregon, has a collection of old boards including both paipos and belly boards. Note the old-fashioned distinction in nomenclature between them:

He's also got a Newport Paipo I will try to get a picture of.

I'm curious about the decal on the paipos. Does it say surfboards or paipos? |

The two green decals spell out Pai Po at the top. I saw him at the Crescent City after-the-show premiere party for Riding Giants last year but I didn't know at the time that his shop once built the finless "guitar pick" boards or I would have asked him about them. |

Those bellyboards look like beeing made with the front part of a broken longboard. _________________ Frogsurfer |

The Performer maybe. Not the Nolls.
