| | My Paipo Boards and...More |
 | | The Hawaiian paipo board was the ancient equivalent of today's bodyboard or "boogie board." Examples of the Hawaiian paipo exist as specimens L-120-373 and P5019 in the Oceanian Collection of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. |
 | | Having ridden paipos (paipo boards) at The Wall, right away I knew the boards should be stiffer, and if it was stiff, then you could put skegs on them. |
 | | I remember paipo boarding with Eddie Aikau, his brothers (Sol and Clyde, etc.), Hawaiian, Palakiko and Val Ching, they were standing up on little plywood boards, and surfing good, at the Wall (before they surfed on regular Big surfboards). |
