Paulownia Quiver!

Blue HPD-style Paipo, Pink Fiberglass bodyboard, 8 foot alaia, 6'11 alaia, 12ft olo

Paipo graveyard!


While I'm recovering from my broken collar-bone, I've been rummaging around in the shed and I came across these two beauties! The one on the left was originally 6'2 and shaped for Jarrah Lynch, son of Victorian surfing legend Wayne Lynch. This afternoon I cut it down to 5,8, turning it into a prone weapon! The other one is more like 4'10 by about 14 inches wide. They are both slightly under 3/4 of an inch thick.

The little one is the best tube riding alaia I've ever built, while the longer one is quite wide (about 18 inches) and is super fast and exceptionally good for long steep sections.

I dragged them both out and gave them a fresh coat of oil, with the hope of getting them wet in some small clean waves tomorrow morning!
