Thought there might be some here that would have some good referring sites.
I'm in the early stages of shaping my own and need a good source for dimensions/design...anyone have any input??

Nice boards. But I really had fun on my old plywood boards when I was a kid.

I've been intrigued by paipo's for a while, but have never ridden one. So it sounds like it may be the vehicle of choice when it's closed out (frequently here in SoBay). Is that when you guys generally pull out the paipo's?
Ska--That bamboo decked board looks nice. Any pics of the bottom of that board?

Funny take on paipos being for crappy waves -- I hear that from foot boarders frequently as well. For me, the paipo is for
good waves and any other boards are for small or crappy surf

Ive been having alot of fun lately on my 4'5 x14" x 1/2" bellyboard i made from scrap 1GS (one good side) plywood... (middle board) "Go Straight, Go Fast" Perfect for tiny barrels.....
Just finished #2 , a 3'4 x 15" x 1/2"... "Prone Drone" and working on a Traditional Surfing UK standard model for my friend... 4' x 12" x 1/2"... All boards have 1" pulled-in tails ....
