Choosing a semi-gun, gun

Post by austo »

Guys, Im looking at getting a semi gun , gun as I will be moving to where I feel I will be needing one in the near future (cant wait 8) My bread and butter waves where I live now rarely get over 4 foot. All my boards only range fron 5'11 to 6'1, all pin tails and all tris(yes I know not much imagination but when your on a good thing...) I am 6'2 and 95kgs. I am no hell man but when I make the move down south I will be taking the next step up in wave size and will probably be surfing waves in the 6-8 foot range on occasions ( well at least attempt to :oops: )
I see alot of the boards guys are calling guns here range from the 6'4 to 7' range.
Any Ideas on best shapes,fin configerations and sizes for my size etc.I expect this will be another contravesial post because everone is different but not ever having owned one I want to take in all your info and evaluate for myself.
All input appreciated.
Thanks.

Austy, that one's easy. Bruce Hart makes beautiful pintails.

Yep gotta agree with KenM here Bruce has made me two semi guns and a gunner gun [if posssible] for similar waves to what your surfing or going to be, and they are gold, all beautifully shaped and suberbly suited to the conditions, give Bruce a call but not until after tomorrow so I can get my new board ordered!! If you would like any other info give me a pm, cheers Grant
getting there is often as good as getting there
