Big Wave Guns
(big wave surfing
 is for experienced
 riders only!)
CAUTION!
Shaper/Contact
A fundamental and simple design. Big wave surfing places brutally clear cut demands on a surfer and surfboard. The features of the big wave gun's outline are about control and projection.
• Pin tail - Most functional.
• Swallow tail or narrow squash - Slightly straighter     
   line from fin(s) to end of tail
Single fins and tri fins are both employed in big wave guns. Both single fin and tri fins benefit from a glassed on arrangement.
How big is big? Do you dare to measure the face value of this macker…
Note that the rider at the bottom is a big guy riding a Rodi Ride's 9'2'' gun.
