FINELINE!!

BJ of FINELINE SURFBOARDS sent me this via surfapig@live.com NICE ONE!!! Thank you Brian for sharing. That ride looks clean and sweet. 
Howdy Gnar;
I've re-booted the ANT- my OG carving pig. From the original nine-year-old idea, I've kept most of the template concepts, but I brought the nose back in- I only widened it for SB year 2000 wide-nose madness. I've revamped the bottom and rocker to true carving spoon dimensions, and I keep a bit more rail volume in the final inch of the rail for a bit more pivot and forgiveness when it's going slower than it would like to, but it's the same carving rail volume entry from the deck and the bottom, if you can visualize that. It's not so much a spoon, as it is an S-deck, with only the last three feet losing the volume, rather than four+, and without a defined step. Pure spoon nose, of course- no concave. It's getting raves from the carving crew, but some of the feedback I get tells me that they're feeling more piggishness than spoon-ness, in terms of what they're liking. They're puzzled that they can nose-ride it, among other things. This one is 9'1. 16 3/4 x 22 5/8 x 16 x 3 1/8. Small board for a solid guy, who knows what's what, glassed light, for a whip-ass ride. Thought you'd be interested to see it. Ciao, BJ

good waves.

just in case anyone has just previously awoke from a coma and happens to be visiting this blog... there has been good surf lately. some real smokers. I had an unreal session out at sliders today. i got 2 barrels on one wave. this short boarder paddled up to me screaming "who the phuck gets 2 barrels on one wave...on a LOG?!" here are a few shots i took. i threw in the flowers cuz the pattern spoke to me. This guy Nate Luna was out shooting with a fancy camera. he said he got some SICK shots of me. we'll see. if so I'll post them up. NICE!!! thanks NATE!!

Hi Mike. Just finished a 9'6" pig. I built it from a couple of old surf club rescue boards. I've lifted the photos and text straight off my blog. Its dimentions are 9' 6" x 23" @ 12" behind centre, nose 17" tail 18" pod 7" x 3" thick. Feel free to edit if you think it is too long.

 Regards, David Platt.
