what's Paipo ?

The paipo surfboard is excellent for the beginner to advanced surfer.
A paipo board can be surfed into the shallow water and right to the shore line, where boards with a fin can't go.




For a beginner they are a great way to learn how to catch and ride a wave.

For the intermediate, it can be a wonderful way to improve on what you already know. 

The Advanced surfer will enjoy the speed a paipo can get out of the pocket and how fast it is to maneuver.


For travel:
Our boards are great for traveling, as they are small, light weight and strong.
Copse Works paipo boards are serious wave riding tools, yet so much fun, for all levels.


Material - concept:
Dom knew he wanted a sea friendly, sustainable solution. But it had to be premium and high performance too. Because of this he makes each board by hand, in the Copse Works studio. The boards are constructed from multiple layers of wood to create a blank that is then handshaped. The boards are sealed with a all natural finish.


Time schedule:
It takes around five to six weeks to make your new board.
