[ Semi Guns ]
The Semi Gun is designed for
paddling, speed, control, and quickness in larger and thicker waves. Paddling
and entry are a premium in these shapes. Performance is also an essential
part of this design - quick response and maneuverability are essential to
surfing effectively in these conditions. Semi guns feature the same elements
of design found in a short board scaled to the conditions. Design features -
Rocker: Swoop or continuous. Profile: Well foiled with a lot of
hidden volume. Outline: Round Pin. Bottom Contours: Vee to
single concave or Tri plane to vee. Rails: Low and thin or low and full -
tuned to surf conditions, surfer's size, displacement, and technique. Often
referred to as the "Ledge Master" by surfers who have one in their
quiver. |
