A few months ago I posted some photos of a board I had just finished titled "Freshly Dipped". Well its been a couple of months and the young surfer who traded his mom car washes for the extra money to get it is breaking it in just fine. Jake's rides his dimensions at 9'4 x 23 x 18 3/4 x 16 1/4 x 3, looks like there working well.


No this hybrid will not get you better mpg's, but it will allow you to trim faster and nose ride farther. At 9'10 x 23 x 16 7/8 nose x 16 1/2 tail x 3 this particular pig's dimensions are a little larger and wider than most. However its straight rail line from the nose to is exceeding large hips maintain that classic pig outline. Dimensions are not the only element that separate this board from those classic pigs of years past. Unlike many traditionally based pigs this one has a progressive nose rider rocker further increasing elements of modern longboards with those of the past. The bottom contours are very reminiscent of a classic pig, with just the right amount of concave to belly to rolled V this board is one serious trim machine. All of these elements combined with a signature D-style Josh Oldenburg fin make it a good choice for a summer cruiser.



Finished these a couple of weeks ago. The foam wedge stringer is my classic nose-rider, at 9'8 x 23 x 18 3/4 x 17 x 3 it makes for some seriously stable tip control. The triple stringer is a new template that pushes the wide point back and slims the nose and tail, but still retains some hips. This board is what I consider to be the link between a retro pig and a modern log. It stands at 9'9 x 22 1/2 x 17 1/4 x 15 3/4 x 3 1/8. The bottom contours are reminiscent of an era gone by with a minimal nose concave to flat to belly to rolled V near the tail and flat exiting the tail. Both boards have flat rockers and are tremendously quick down the line. The photos were taken by Garrett Highhouse with art work done by Bill Sager.
A young surfer named Ryan Luna picked this one up on Wednesday. This template is the full nose-rider, the dimensions are 9'4 x 23 1/2 x 19 1/2 x 16 1/2 x 2 7/8. His color scheme is one that demands attention. With that lime green bottom and rail you'll have no excuses for not seeing him coming down the line.

Finished this one last week. Garrett snapped a few photos over the weekend and now its here for your viewing pleasure. This particular board is the identical outline of a early-mid 60's Hobie. Its 9'4 x 22 x 16.5 x 15.5 x 3 1/4 with a flat rocker and volume out to the rails. The bottom features a modern nose concave that flows into a belly and carries a rolled V out the tail, with one of a kind art work by Bill Sager. This particular board is also available for purchase, if your interested feel free to shot me an e-mail at joshuaoldenburg@yahoo.com.



After a long wait and countless hours of toying with curves, the 2010 Josh Oldenburg signature fins are now available. The first is an all round nose-riding fin. This fin features a wide base for stability off the nose and good deal of rake for flowing cutbacks. The second fin is a blast from the past. This barn door style fin was influenced by a 1963 Hobie stock fin. In order to get a bit more performance out of the fin I reduced the base, greatened the height and added a bit of curve. The components together allow for an ascetically old school fin with modern performance. Both fins are available for purchase and come in a wide range of colors. If you have any questions regarding the fins or just want to talk shop feel free to contact me at joshuaoldenburg@yahoo.com.
