The Paipo "Sunfish"...

This is my first Paipo blank...I call it the "SunFish" because its shape is inspired by the majestic Sunfish. I'm going to finish this board out with a wooden handle and deck engraved design..

number two...

test-flight

Took my board out for the first time today! I was pretty stoked to get it in the water and paddle it out. It was a really small day, so catching waves was a bit of a challenge. Got one..in a hour..haha...but not strong enough to stand up! ( I don't know why, but here is something natural about paddling on a wood board:) )

I started painting and carving the sanded finish:)

shape, shape, shape!

I started hand-shaping my first wood surfboard today. I'm making it out of laminated pine, so it has a little flex. It's about 7ft tall and 1 ft wide. I'm super stoked on it...can't wait to try it!
