Does anyone have any insight as to the dimensions of the old 60's pigs?
The old Velzy, and Dewey Weber pig shapes and then the new Murphy pig and Dano Pig are the kind of thing I am thinking of
Especially the nose and tail, and how far back that widepoint is and how wide?
Thanks

I think the widepoints were between -6 and -8 back from the centre
cheers mate!
Cool cool, I was wondering about the weber pig as well. I wonder if anyone has that board's dims?
It's a good year for pigs, especially Chinese made ones !
;)
Here is one of Dano's pignar breadbaskets, unfortunately there are no dims.
I tried Googleing balsa pig boards. There are a lot of pages but no info on dimentions on the pages I looked at. But they were narrow nosed fat assed and seemed to be short for their day. With a round or roundpintail. platty.

How far back is the wide point on each?
and how would you best describe the ride? especially the noseride?
I have no idea about the widepoint. I put the boards back in the shed. Look at the photos. The Dano actually noserides pretty well if you set up right. The Weber is such a beast I just trim it when I've had it out. Off to check it, good luck.
