    SEMI GUN

Price: TBA

BIO: The next one up from the Next One Up. This is when most of your bigger wave spots are starting to max out, when a lot of water is moving and paddling is as much stressful as it is crucial. There ain’t no milk and cookies at the end of these waves, only a horizon stacked with beef.

 

SPECS: Central thickness and width dimensions that still relate, somewhat, to your regular shortboard, but thicker at the very least. Pulled in nose and tail with a moderate rocker increase running from nose to tail. Light mid-vee with a mild double concave is a stable, proven bottom.

 

WAVE POTENTIAL: It’s not just big, it’s steep, fast and throwing. This one can stay in the garage until the sounds of incoming swell wake you up at night. Think open-ocean type surf exceeding double and around triple overhead.

 

REALITY CHECK: There are few places accommodating enough for the Semi-Gun. Although the name “Todos” comes to mind.

 

GREEN OR GURU? Guru. So you think you’re ready. Then you’re not ready—knowing is the only answer and thinking is not enough.

 

CONFIDENCE BOOST: For those of you who charge because you can, you’ll feel the ease of a board that’s not too squirrelly and not too gunny. You’ll get to the outside quick and you’ll be in the bombs on time and coolly dropping into the best slopes of your life.
