Pig Luau 2012 @ San-O

The 2nd annual Pig Luau at San-O. This was such an awesome time. It had all the ingredients for a guaranteed great time, surfing various pig(ish) boards, beer, new friends, and ofcourse a freshly cooked, whole pig on a wire bedframe. I missed the campsite and walked straight down to the beach on trail 4. I automatically saw Johnny suiting up with a handful of others. I did a quick scan and realized I was about to head out into a surf session with some surf legends which included Gene Cooper, KP, and one of my heroes Brian Hilbers. It was so bizarre. It was also the maiden voyage of my self made "doldrums" pig I made. I caught enough waves to realized it caught waves great, and turned on a dime, but I need to play with fin placement and even fin replacement to really dial it in here at Porto. I met Mateo Plummer who I later found out was Casanova in Invasion from Planet C! YES! My board almost took his head off when I lost grip of it on a close out, then he almost returned the favor! Saw one of my old Gato's sitting on the beach randomly. Felt weird, wanted to grab it and say "hey! that's mine!" Awesome time. You missed out if you weren't there.

9'4'' Doldrums Pig ready for glassing.

This thing is ready for glassing. 9'4''x21.5''x 15.5''x 17'' x 3.25'' Glassing the bottom tonight with an abstract resin panel in the mid. All 8oz volan. Double on deck.

9'4'' Pig/Chip In the works.

I'm making this guy for Mike Black's SurfAPig Pig Luau coming up in 2 weeks. I took some elements of the Terry Martin Chip I have and applied it to this one. I ended up giving it a wider bottom half. I haven't taken the final measurements yet, but it's 9'4'' in length and almost 22'' at it's wide point in the butt. Reverse rocker and flat as hell nose. Going to glass it up with clear volan. No color on this one. Color is for pansies. Or I'm just getting lazy.
