...pretty sure this is self expantory and alittled forced, but visiting family in staten island with out a board, with lots of time to kill, and the rockaways about 22 miles away, led to this 'favor of the month' idea... Bought 1/2" luan plywood for a buck ten..(stupid cheap)a saw for five, and sand paper for two bucks, and hacked out a paipo,(hawaiian plywood boogieboard) on a field next to the belt parkway, overlooking the great verazzano bridge...
as for the results, I wasn't 'shredding'...just rode a couple on the belly, popped up once in awhile, but mostly got a work-out, which was worth it. the session made the rest of weekend totally bearable... loved rockaway...viva paipo
december production news:
...tons of experimental board making going on...
...really into wolle's powskate designs... i'll set up a link shortly
...plenty of waves coming in, pics to follow.
