This refined big-wave board is built for commitment. Featuring a flatter forward deck that adds paddle power and stability, it retains low, sensitive rails that allow for control at high speeds. The hollow-V off the tail, combined with a thin, refined rocker profile, brings liveliness and maneuverability to what would otherwise be a locked-in gun. Tested extensively in heavy water—Mainland Mexico, West Oz, Hawaii, and across reef passes worldwide—this board is proven where it matters most. Frequently ordered as a moon-tail quad, it's a go-to for surfers tackling very hollow, critical surf.
Pro
Proven Performance: Field-tested in some of the heaviest waves on earth.
Tail Design: Hollow-V with thin rocker enhances release and control in steep sections.
Versatile Tuning: Can be built with moon-tail quads or custom options suited for specific breaks.
Responsive in Critical Conditions: Maintains maneuverability in situations where most guns feel stiff.
Con

Final Verdict
This gun is a precision-built weapon for dedicated big-wave surfers. With thoughtful refinements in deck, rails, and tail, it walks the line between stability and responsiveness in extremely challenging conditions. While not an everyday board, it’s an essential addition for those chasing slabs and pushing limits in powerful surf zones.
