A few of us have seen that one before, but it's still awesome to watch!

He surfs good but he also drops in.........although we do not know what went on before that incident it must be said.

I like to watch him - big smile and he goes well.

Hey Stuk - I am thinking 75 litres plus!

it is amazing that his knees can keep it up not to mention the lung capacity after paddling that bulk around.

A real inspiration though, I'd be pissed if he dropped in on me but would never say so

Well, a fat 7'3" Fish comes in at 53 litres at nearly 3" thick... and that board looks to have a more traditional SB outline... dunno!

No reason why it couldn't be the "puffer fish" model surfboard... 3"3/4... or 3"7/8 or 4"! Look at S*P's FFS!

Boards are.

I ride a LOST board shaped by MAYHEM Matt Biolos -2010 Surfing Magazine Shaper of the Year. He constructed a Big Boy Fish and a sick round pin for me. My fish is 7'0 24 by 3-3/4 and my round pin is 7'6 24 3-3/4. If anyone would like to order the big boy pro models let me know (using the info at the end of the article -Bruce) and I will set you up.

And an article on Big Jim, the website is called Chubstr...

Does anyone know how how big he actually is ie: height and weight.

I only ask because his fish dims are only 2" wider and 1/2" thicker than mine, I'am 6'4" and tip the scales at around 120kgs.
So I would think if he was roughly the same height ?? he would have to be at least 140kgs???

Great find - I enjoyed that read SP. He is certainly an interesting character. They should have asked him a few more pointed questions though I reckon.....soft interviewer!!!!!
