That's a work of art..very very nice..but have to ask why a hole in the fin and not a bridge on the deck..

Pieter was speaking to Midget Farrelly shorty before he passed away and apparently that was where the first leg ropes were attached before they became so popular that builders started puting bridges on decks. I could have gone the bridge but Pieter is pretty particular about making these pigs authentic. He did not really want to polish the bottom but i convinced hime with a case of crownies. Again, back in the late 50's they never even sanded the top coat, it was just left unsanded and same with the top coat join around the rail edge.

I thought that the hole in the fin was usually done by tight-arses that were too lousey to get the new fangled leash plug/chair tip inserted into the board..from experience as it's what I did.

Cracker board!!! Well done Piet.
