Some Photos from Paipo Fest.

We had a great event,  It was a great mix of board makers and people who wanted to try them.  Thank you to the fellow Paipo Society members for putting the event together.  Also thanks to Daphnie's for providing really good food.

Check out this article.  They did not put me in the South Bay version because I moved to Encinitas a couple months before.  I am glad the included me here along with these great shapers, many of the with long roots in the area.

Productive Weekend

Sydney and I got away this weekend to the foothills of the Sequoia National Park.  Sydney caught her first fish.  I took the jackpot.  Riverside, I did some finish work on a pile of handplanes.

Paipo Class At Grain In September

http://www.grainsurfboards.com/classes/paipo-wegener/

     Please check out the link to Grain Surfboards.  I will be going to Maine to teach a class September 8th and 9th.  We will be making paipos.  Last year we did a alaia class. It was a really good time.  Most of us camped at the Grain farm.  We surfed in the morning, worked on the boards during the day, surfed in the evening, then had a couple of beers with dinner. Everyone in the class made a really nice board, and said they had a really good time, highlight of their summer.
      I have been riding paipos a lot.  The boards are really fun to ride, and make the most out of every session.  Definitely a board everyone should have in you quiver.

Body surfing Handplanes at Patagonia

Just delivered some some Wegener/Surcraft Cooperative handplanes to Patagonia in Cardiff.  Take note of new handplane bag also at the store.
