dave allee, cam oden, wayne lynch and the ...beautiful surfboard.

dave allee sent me this via surfapig@live.com: Hey Mike, Saw your post about that guy's piglet. Our photograher, Cam Oden, had a similar idea. Taking a pig template and applying it to more of a midlength. We bladed out the rails a bit more on this one, so it could handle waves with a bit of juice. For being plywood, the fin still has quite a bit of flex. It kind of looks like the strange offspring of a hull and a pig. I think a decent day at church would be super ideal for this board. As soon as we get some waves, we'll get it out for a true test run. Just thought I'd contribute to the mini-pig conversation. Thanks Mike, Dave

haha, also, Oden would like me to add that this is a very Wayne Lynch inspired board.

what the fuck?! is there a better cutback than the one below?

almond's piggy thump.

david allee sent me this via surfapig@live.com:
We just made this 9'8 for this guy, Jonathon. He wanted the surf thump, but he wanted to tweak the numbers a bit and make it extra piggy. Final dims were 16.5 x 22.75 x 16.25 x 3 with the widepoint 12" back. He just picked it up, so we're still waiting on the performance review. Thought you might like to see that someone got us to temporarily abandon our slight pig and go for gold on the real deal. Plus he'll have one of the new almond d-fins to go with it...Cheers Mike,Dave
looking SWEET!
NICE!
