Moi je l'ai essayé à Cuba et comparé à mon Skim Nobile qui utilise aussi des fins de TT mais est beaucoup plus court et un peu plus large... Je fais ti mon review? Oh... J'ai des messages privés...
Je vais te rendre la vie plus facile flipper
Voici un résumé des commentaires sur le Paipo qui est similaire a la Shinnster mais pas parfaitement identique de part la méthode de fabrication qui est légèrement différente et le flex et rocker qui est un peu différent mais le feeling devrait être très proche. Voici donc des commentaires provenant de kiteforum.com :"I had the chance to ride a Paipo this weekend in overpowered 7m flat water conditions.
Very fun little board. Much lighter and much more skatey than the DV8 but still easy to ride jib and jump. I think I need to find a way to add one of these to my quiver."
"I have a paipo. Super fun board. It is not a traditional surfboard, but a lot of fun to play with. It is generally one of the boards that are in my car...I would say the board feels like a merge between a surfboard and a skim. I am not a fan of skim on the water (so far), but I am having a lot of fun on the paipo. I have not used it in bigger waves than headhigh and to be honest I think headhigh is about as big as I will go on it before I better on it. That wave is very pitchy...and I am having more fun in ankle snappers and maybe waist to shoulder high.
I like it a lot in flat water too...fun to mess around and learn tricks on. The board is light, but super strong."
"Yea the Paipo is dialed. I'm loving mine more every session. What's nice is that it has both the properties of an Alaia and a surfboard. For example the Paipo is great for surface spins and light wind, but because of the rocker and fins its also really good in the waves especially small peelers. I like jumping it too as it's light and sticks to your feet .
For those that haven't seen a Paipo in person it's made using snowboard construction and thus it's very light and strong, plus it looks cool."
" My Paipo is fantastic and I've progressed faster on strapless tricks and airs on that board than any other. In fact i almost ride that board exclusively now unless conditions are good for wakestyle or it's really big."
"you can ride it really slow and point pretty high so it feels like you get upwind fast. on surfboard I tend to go faster but not point as high. I think in light wind Iprobably get upwind a bit faster on the paipo than my larger (but not huge) surfboard.
It is way better than a normal twin for upwind in light air but much worse than a raceboard"
"I've had the Paipo out a few more times. It is a very addictive board for sure"
"I've ridden the paipo and the fin does make it very controllable, yet you can still spin it around like a skim. the board is one of the more versatile sticks to keep in your quiver. can't wait to get one of these for summer riding."
"Also I had the paipo out again. Super fun board. At head and half it was a bit more than I could handle., but I am amazed at how light the board feels. "
"Paipo board: Awesome! The best of an Alaia and a Surfboard combined. The Paipo is constructed like a snowboard with laminated wood in the core and ABS sidewalls. The board is very light and thus is very, very good for strapless airs. Also because of the rocker and fins you can take it waves too. Probably would prefer the surfboard in big overhead plus waves, but on smaller waves this board rocks because it planes so quickly. Also it's easily to do shuv-its, ride blind, do flat water spins on etc. It's just fun. "
c'est si simple et si beau je trouve
