New Alaia-Paipo Hybrid

]]> New Alaia-Paipo Hybrid

Last summer my alaia almosted replaced all the time that I used to spend on my paipo. The alaia was so fast and agile but I missed the float and paddling characteristics of the paipo. I was talking to Austin about how I would like to combine all the positive characteristics of both. What you see in the picture is the outcome. It is an alaia-paipo hybrid. When the water gets a little water I will test it out and let you know what I think.

Here is a shot with the top decking on and the bottom being prepped for decking.  The rail boards had to be planed at an angle to match the curve of the bottom for the decking to sit flat so it can be screwed into place.  We were wondering why Thomas Blake had to use screws for the bottom on 3″ centers and found out immediately.  The bottom has so much curve that even with it in two pieces the screws cannot be any further apart than 3″.  More to follow later!
