Greased Pig
Finally got to take the board out after 9 excruciating days. Surf was crumby 1-2...

Greased Pig
A speed machine for chest high waves and smaller; this is the type of board that you drive like a race car….it’s going fast so all you gotta’ do is hang on and steer. It has a low entry rocker for quick paddling, ease catching waves, and increased lift in small/ flatter faced waves. The bottom has a slight rolled vee in the nose to a single concave through the belly that transitions into a pronounced spiral vee that increases off the tail. This hull design carries excellent trim speed and gives the tail a very free feeling in the small stuff. The rails are fuller and boxier with forgiving edges that are softly blended into the bottom. Ride this board 2-3 inches shorter, 3/8” –1/2” wider, and 1/16” thicker than your standard “good waves” shortboard. Everything the high performance shortboards do in good waves this board does in the crud. This one works best as a swallow. Glides through sections.
Greased Pig v.2
This is a slightly changed-up, finely tuned child of the original Greased Pig. I slightly increased and smoothed out the entry rocker and took out all the vee through the bottom; running instead a single concave with subtle inset doubles that funnel through the length of the board. By removing the vees and replacing them with concaves, the board becomes much more versatile and can handle bigger, hollower sections with more hold, drive and responsiveness through maneuvers. It is not meant to replace the original Pig; as the original I believe is still the go to board for weak, mushy waves where you want maximum speed on trim between maneuvers. The Greased Pig II fits the bill for those who loved the original, but want something with a little more hold in critical sections and that can handle some pushier waves as well.
Same re-dimensioning applies… 2-3 inches shorter, 3/8” – 1/2” wider, and 1/16” thicker than your standard “good waves” board. Works great as a swallowtail if you want to keep it looser and hip squash is where it’s at for a more pivoty snappy feel.
Greased Pig v.3
This one is the same as v.1 rocker & bottom but with a sleeked up shortboardy outline and instead of swallowtail, has a subtle hip to pulled-in swallow. This one works best as a swallow. Glides through sections.
Greased Pig v.4
The Greased Pig v.4 is a more aggressive and versatile design than that of the original Greased Pig. I added more curve in the entry rocker to allow for tighter surfing in the steeper areas of the wave, while keeping the original rocker through the midsection and off the the tail…to maintain its drivey, speedy glide through the slopey bits. The hull contour now has a single concave running from the nose through the middle, then splitting to a double concave through the fins with a subtle spiral vee off the tail. This provides a wider open sweet spot that caters to a broad variety of styles and stances; as well as predictability in a wide range of wave types and conditions. The tail has been pulled in to give the board excellent hold on rail all the way through fully committed arcs. The nose outline has also been pulled in with a more constant curve from nose tip to front fins. This also allows the board to pull smooth, tight arcs in turns. Overall a very versatile everyday board that loves everything from two foot and slopey to overhead and throaty.
Greased Pig HD
Hideoscillous rocker & bottom. Ideal for small scale waves; incredible back foot control through on-rail full-speed cutties. Versatile, user-friendly summertime easyrippin’ performance board. Moderate to low drivey rocker, yet still nice and whippy. A board you don’t have to think too much on…it just goes like a horse out tha gate. Works great as a swallowtail if you want to keep it looser and hip squash is where it’s at for a more pivoty snappy feel.

a word from the shaper:
it is unreal on small days and still rips when the waves get decent to good as well. I have been doing more of them recently with a few new tweaks and the board is just a truly classic easy to ride, quick to get speed drivey, big buckets fun machine.

Way back in 1991 – ‘92 I was so impacted by living in J-bay and seeing Tom Curren surf that wave for his first time on a Maurice Cole reverse vee design – that I decided to revisit that hull concept with my own twist these many years later. It has opened up a whole new frontier of dynamic water flow and drivey single-stage bottom turns and on-rail power surfing. This video breaks down the first exploration into this design realm with the Falcon 2 and Falcon 3 designs…which have since blossomed into and birthed the more recent iterations of the #procco2030surfboard the #Supernaturalsurfboard and the #supernatural2030surfboard designs. (board design breakdown videos coming soon on each of those). Go visit the link in bio for a story I wrote that conveys that personal experience of living in Africa; how that time influenced me as a shaper. And how those experiences relate to you and the crafts that transport us to new places on waves. Always love hearing your feedback. It’s what the custom experience is all about. Together, pushing forward the envelope of what is possible for each of us personally and uniquely as we design each board…one day at a time, one surfer at a time, one board at a time.

@p_fly hunts slabs with religious zeal. And when the Oxnard loc decides to dwell in caverns abroad, he seeks out the houses of the holy…the deep places of earth that God has made for those that seek shelter from the storm. Secret spot. 5’10” x 18 5/8” x 2 3/8” #Holyrollersurfboard …a shorter, stubbier, fuller nose, thicker down the stringer, more tapered at the rail, slab board that acts like a step-up paddle-wise, but gets under the hood and hovers deep on the foam ball for max time in the cathedral.

Ventura had a good run of swell lately, albeit pretty walled, but if you timed the conditions right there were some windows of perfection. Here’s my friend Jake in the right place at the right time. I remember taking Jake’s dad, JP, on an 18 hour junket to a secret slab in Baja when he was 15 to score empty barrels. Now JP has a whole tribe of kids of his own and they’re a full on surfing family…even their dog Chewy rushes the local beachbreak. Well done crew!! 6’2” x 18 7/8” x 2 9/16” #flyinlionsurfboard slight step-up

A time for Thanksgiving. God windows. Miracles. And a new lease on life. This year brought surprises. ICU. Blood clot in my brain. Every breath was simply “I am yours God. My life is in Your hands.” And here I am. And here we are. This family. I get to stay and raise our daughter with my wild lion. Todd took us to Mammoth a couple weeks ago to visit the places his Dad took him as a kid. He taught Indie and I how to fish. We caught a rainbow trout and cooked it up in our cabin within 20 minutes of exiting the lake. There was almost nobody around and we hiked and fished on the lake and literally went hours without seeing a soul. We met new friends, skipped rocks, walked fallen tree trunks, cracked ice, explored, gazed at fish circling our lines, crackled through fall leaves, sat by the fire in our cabin, played games, drank hot cocoa, collected small aromatic pine needle bundles, watched chipmunks dig for and find acorns then show them off to us, and deers graze past us. It was a little glimmer of what God has in mind for eternity. Perfect peace, perfect rest, perfect love and so much genuine joy. Our pine needle bundles are still releasing their fragrance in our kitchen and reminding us that miracles will happen. Reminding us to believe all things, hope all things and endure all things, because Love never fails. Thank you Jesus.
