My new Jim "the Genius" Phillips semi-pig board!
I picked up my new custom 9'10" semi-pig from Jim Phillps today. It was exactly what I've been wanting for so long.
16.5" nose (downrail kinda like the Con Wingnose), 23.5" wide (wide point pulled back about a foot), 17" tail with a beautiful John Cherry old style D fin about 2.5" up. Jim said his template was taken from an old Velzy-Jacobs balsa pig. Walker "Old Man" foam and a big T-band stringer (balsa/redwood). Double 8 oz. Volan both sides. No leash attachment. Rocker is pretty mellow/flat but with some kick right in the tail. 50/50 rails except down in the nose.
Thanks Jim for the bitchen board! I can't wait to trim some walls at Malibu.

I love that thing- true modern day classic- how's she go??
Re: [smoothie] My new Jim "the Genius" Phillips semi-pig board!
Not waxed yet. I'll probably take her out this weekend.

Re: [mijknahs] My new Jim "the Genius" Phillips semi-pig board!
word, that's awesome. Jim puts alot of work and attention to detail for his boards. He didn't get his nickname by doing nothing.
That's so fresh. You must have that stoked smile.

Hope you're ready for the speed... It's like hitting I-5 in a supercharged '74 Lincoln Continental, and someone else is paying for the gas. :)
I've ridden Surfore's 10'4 of the same shape, same weight, same fin. Butter.

Indeed! That is one fine looking board.

I had a 1966 Surfboards Hawaii that had a simular shape. Thanks for the dimensions. Now I need to shorten them a bit to a 9'-2" or a 9'-4".
Re: [mijknahs] My new Jim "the Genius" Phillips semi-pig board!
JKP, I think these guys like your work!!!
what I wanna know is how come there's not a dead lizard
or spider curled up in a knot-hole in that fin?? (have the
sway crew seen that stuff?)
mijknahs, you have made a good choice. You are about to
discover the difference that a top-shelf shaper can make
in your surfing experience. Enjoy!!!

Thanks. I've owned a couple Velzys in the past and the last one I had I think Jim shaped. They were great boards. I'm looking forward to getting this one dialed!

Re: [mijknahs] My new Jim "the Genius" Phillips semi-pig board!
Soooooooo clean and smooth. I'd LOVE to have the talent/experience to shape something that beautiful!

Just want to say that I got it wet at Malibu this afternoon/evening. Fantastic experience. Started out picking off some small inside waves. It does feel a bit stiffer than what I'm used to but it still turns pretty good. Just got to throw a little more weight into it.
Toward the evening (when the crowed thinned out) I got some really nice walls that I could really feel the turns and speed in trim. Great fun.
