1. "the term 'Pig&...Just two minor points.<br />1. "the term 'Pig' refers to the fat rear end for starters!!!"<br />For what is apparently intended to be a technical article on surfboard design, this is a somewhat less than rigorous beginning.<br />Surfboards have three possible templates.<br />From the centre point, the surface area is either (approximately) equal (in the vernacular, a Cigar, Sausage, Double-ender), the fore > rear (Foil, Gun) or the rear > fore (Pig, No-nose,Lazer-Zap).<br />These were first identified by Leonardo da Vinci around 1515.<br />2. "Basically this design became the first 'full finned' board where the fin evolved from Tom Blake's first runner."<br />This is arguably incorrect; the early 'full finned' fibreglass and balsa wood boards were slightly foiled square tails (certainly the most popular template over the last thousand years), and attributed to Joe Quigg and Matt Kevlin (and not Bob Simmons).<br />The "Pig" template was a later development, attributed to Velzy-Jacobs.

I ordered a board from him. he met me in the parking we talked about board history and he paddled out surfed shitty waves with everyone. he is a legend to me and when i met him he was extremely humble and willing to take the time to talk to a random noob. he's also an amazing surfer! Thanks for sharing Mr. Blacks! After reading this i think i might ask marc if he can shape a pig for me.erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333906955074480097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568444365356991608.post-47166554239548253612010-05-26T09:51:32.833-07:002010-05-26T09:51:32.833-07:00thanks CG!
