jason arnold!!

jason arnold painted these! "shortboard sam" looks like he just heard about Gene's price drop on the flex pig!!!!

black apache! pig 9'6 x 23 1/16" x 3 1/16" !!!!!


cooperfish blackboard flex pig!! PRICE CHANGE!!!!

from gene's web site:Now that we’ve got it dialed I have dropped the price to pass on the savings. The last batch were delivered with this price adjustment and I’m in touch with those that got the first run to make sure that the first Flexpig customers don’t feel slighted. At the same time I raised the price of the Ricefin option since I now know how long each panel takes me to build.
Originally conceived with the idea of making a pig that has the feel of balsa(with a dense core and a lighter shell), and flex to give it more life and some noseriding advantage, the Flexpig has met and exceeded my expectations. I believe that this is a very unique product and I’m super happy about the reception I’ve gotten from Flexpig riders. I’m looking forward to concentrating on building these boards along with the Speedhulls. You’ll find that the wait time on both of these models will be greatly reduced in the near future.

All boards will be silent auctioned off and net proceeds go to benefit research and diagnosis.

email me with your pictures and information about pig boards!!!! surfapig@live.com

surfapig

this blog is all (...well mostly all) about surfboards with weight, belly, wide point aft, a skeg (D fin) and narrow noses . These 5 elements more or less define a "Pig" board as far as I can tell. The funny thing is...back when these boards were being ridden, they weren't thought of as a "pig" they were thought of as a "surfboard".

On June 13th 2009 I started this blog in an effort to have a place on the internet where people can share and learn about surf boards we now refer to as "pigs". The more enthusiatic I became regarding my pig boards and my experiences on them , the more frustrated i became on the lack of content on the internet. Hence my effort. Please send me any pictures or stories you have concerning pig boards. I will post them on my blog.

Stockholm Sweden!!!!! Headed for Disaster!!! so STOKED!!!!!!! they are big fans of INVASION! from planet C!!! they made this song inspired by INVASION!

Scott Johansson PIG'S!!!

scott sent me this via surfapig@live.com: Mike, Just wanted to share my new Dewey Weber Pig. I think it turned out clean. I love the shape. Shea Weber is such a cool guy and was great to work with on having this board shaped. Jerry O'Keefe shaped it here in San Clemente, and John Cherry down in Oceanside made me the fin. I've had tons of boards and I haven't been this excited about a board in years. I also threw in a 7'6' PIG that i've ridden for years. Not bad for a garage board
