Hey. I just picked up a 2007 Best Waroo; don't have the matching wipika bar though. Seems to fly alright on my Airush bar.

I have used the bar from a Woolworths shopping trolley and didn't have any issues.

Does a Wipika bar have a happy hour?

Does it have long lines?

Hmmm, I may be able to make a worthy contribution to this thread, feel qualified , as I own a Wipika. Old fellah on he corner havin a shed clean out.He bought this board second hand for his boys around 1980. Energy brand, shaped by Simon Anderson, 6'5" , single fin, heaps of volume.

Just under 75mm thick under front foot position . Do I resurrect , or bin it . I'm thinking , light wind machine , cheers, J

Edit : Just googled it. It would appear it is indeed from the late 70's a ___n____d , It's a collectable , might just dangle it under the pergola , as is

Resurrect it, but for paddle surfing only.
Those old singles are fun when its clean and two foot, couldn't think of anything worse for kiting on though (oh wait, probably better than a pop out 'kite surfboard', lol).

And please, can we try and keep this on topic.
No more derails thanks.

So which do you prefer, the new Naish boards or the North bar?
