It jams in small waves and gives you the speed to do turns and maneuvers
Hey Todd
I was checking out the greased pig on your site.
I was looking for a new everyday board
for waist to head high + .
as far as size I was thinking 5’10” x 19.5” x 2 3/8” . My only question would be single or double bump in the tail and whether I should go thruster or quad. If I was going to go with four fins I figured it would work better with the wider tail or single wing. I dont like four fins on real pulled in tails.
At the same time I wanted something
that will pivot off the bottom and
be able to go vertical
where I’ve rode quads that have trouble doing that. Any suggestions.

Hi Mike,
Good to hear from you.
The Greased Pig is a great board and one of my favorites.
It jams in small waves and gives you the speed
to do all the turns and maneuvers that you
can’t normally do on a regular board
in those same conditions.
Also, what is very cool is that it is really versatile for a small wave board in that it will surf up to head high + and still run clean.
This board goes quick and loose
(like a quad) already
without the need to loosen it up more as a four fin….I find the tri fin is my favorite since it does more of exactly what you mention…..holds and pivots vertical and lets you lay into it in tight, snappy turns.
I have been having people get them with five fin (boxes) set-up so it can be ridden as a trifin or quad…..and that works really well and gives you the opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds. What is your current height and weight, so I can crosscheck that with your suggested dimensions.
The tail is pretty wide already on the
Greased Pig
so I don’t recommend going wider…..
it works great for both tri or quad as it is.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I know you would be stoked on a magic Greased Pig.
Looking forward to your reply,
Aloha,
Todd
