"It's almost like this
paipo niche has self-divided into two camps: those that ride the much
smaller boards, and create for themselves what is in many ways a kind
of "bodysurfing experience," '... body in the wave, legs dangling,
totally in the pocket. And the "prone" guys who seem to be more
surfboard-oriented, whatever type of board that is (and it seems to be
way different for each guy)... More board-oriented, less body in the
water, surfboard principles coming into play."
