"There's nothing better than seeing a shaper combine inspirations from surfing's experimental era with a contemporary refinement. The panel vee bottom that's derived from the Hot Generation and Evolution eras of the late 60's, provides an added stability to the effortless glide of a displacement hull. This grounding aspect of the vee bottom plays a key roll in the stabilization of inter-board navigation - such as cross stepping and coffining - as well as inter-wave movements including bottom turns, carves, and the like. Clocking in at 8'8" and 24 inches wide, the surface area of this board is vast, allowing it to coast at a much higher cruising speed in comparison to other mid lengths whether you're paddling or trimming, it's like driving a six cylinder vs an eight cylinder. The vibrational frequency emitted by this grounded, high velocity sculpture is extremely unique as the two qualities are seldom existing harmoniously. "

I recently finished a 9'4 PIG shape that has been swooning me ever since. Rolled bottom, thin foil, knifey rails. To show off the 1" Balsa stringer we did a clear polished gloss finish with 7.5 oz volan top and bottom. Initial session at Pleasure Point proved this board to sit high in the pocket on steep faces racing through tall sections with unbelievable speed and elegance. Smooth take offs, fast trim, and loose jivey turning radius with some elastic propulsions off the 10" 4A foiled by Larry Alison. The next day a particular logging wave in the immediate bay area lit up with some swell for a perfect morning of 3-4ft+ peelers with some clean fast lines. Cheater 5 city for a narrow nose template like this one. This ones a real looker that can walk the walk AND talk the talk!
