I usually had more fun prone riding on my roundtail El Paipo 48, and sometimes my El Paipo 54. I think the pintail 48 on ebay is a very nice collectible, and will probably sell for about $251.00 without any help from me. I'd like to see one of the El Paipo Bellyboards. I think they were 42" and actually said bellyboard on the label. Supposedly there's some guy near me that has about 40 El Paipos. I've got to track him down and see if he's got the twin fin bellyboard model. |
Spot on LOB. Mine is the red model. Needs bigger, faster waves. One of the more beautiful, and least functional boards in the quiver.

I noticed the ebay EL Paipo 48" has a four digit serial # which must make it a very late model. I have a "wallhanger" El Paipo 54" Knee Machine with a three digit serial number. A much better rider in its day unless you're a 100 pounder. I just wondered if it was a redo by the original shaper (his name escapes me) or actually a vintage board?
