250!!!!!...and the obligatory hodge podge!!!!

i have an obsession with the piglet. fortunately for me and other piglet enthusiast there exist matt calvani. matt is a skilled craftsman and a devotee of tradition , yet understands tomorrow exist. below is my upcoming surfcraft. currently it is glassed. holy FEE-YUUUCCCCKKKK!!!

i sent matt the below image of my desired finish after he had sent me the shaped blank pic. you have to love that!!!!!
lately i have been working on some crazy mathematics projects. i am more stoked on surfing than ever. however as far as the internet is concerned..it has been more about mathematics than pigs. hence my delay as of late. be that as it may... here is a wee slice of my surf lab. there is yeah-er-auld ( my alpaca sheleighleigh), and spike (my first buck killed and ate on 12/ 22 / 91 off hand - one shot in kinney county, Texas).
