That's a great response , I never ridden or seen in the flesh the 12-0 PSH Gun but I have seen some great video footage of it. This would be a very good choice mmmm might change my vote forgot about this one.

Easy, seeing as I only have one board would be pretty silly to say anything other than the Naish 9'6"

man that 12' psh loooooks sooooooo nicccccccce

when do they hit australia AA or Casso

Next week just in time for the SNOWY!

One 12'er left Dog's! I'm feeling your love of the Glide and imagining being able to paddle into just about anything with confidence.

The Ripper family is also joining big daddy Daddy for the big trip down under -
-9'3
-9'6 wide Ripper



-9'8 - the under rated Ripper. Blane's choice in tahiti.

-9'10 - currently my fav' winter board for paddling into those bigger faster beasts.

AA

Piro's with the dollar on a roller coaster ride it is a bit hard to know what next seasons prices will look like. Hopefully the trend remains upwards so prices can come down. We would like to see it at RR$1999.

I think the guys in Hawaii describe to it as being good for waves between 2' and 20' + A bit of an allrounder for distance paddling and downwinders too.

In fact I'd be fascinated to hear a report if anyones done a downwinder on one?

This is also a good thread about the 12' Gun.

My vote is 2 12'0 Guns. When I saw the red one in the container I immediately called Blane and had him send a white one to Maui....I have owned a ton of boards and the board is majestic. It is very hard to describe but at this current time in my life those are the only words I know....This board is fun for family, surfing, learning, playing, downwind (Took 2nd in a race but you won't beat the top dogs that are designed for downwinding), touring, onshore, offshore, etc.

Over 50% of the calender year has crappy waves and this board fills that void of being in the water. Of course nothing like a small SUP but when conditions suck this board comes to play. Actually every SUP session this board is on the car as the emergency. ****Remember my opinion is valid only in my mind and it is all about the stoke***

P.S. Got some sick footage of the board being ridden finless. When I complete I will post here if you like.

Here are some pics of the Bulls....













Here is a little clip at the end of a race. Cross chop and all..Once again you probably won't win a race but you can put it on the truck and head to the surf after..

I am too new to this to have a clue, but so far my 9 3 ripper has handled everything from one foot ankle snappers to overhead bombs. Paddles pretty good - faster than the mal riders anyway - and handles the chop OK.

Those 12' guns do look awesome but I would also like to go smaller amd lighter for the next board....hmmmm.

Hey Goatman, you should do what I'm doing, keep the 9'3" Ripper, go smaller and lighter (custom DC 8'8") AND get a 12'0" gun too!

Who's a lucky boy?

Austin Lays into it with the 12' Gun/Ripper. The boards turns insane for 12'.

Truely awesome.

Same colour as the one I'm getting - Austin and I will look like twins (except that he is large, dark and rips the crap out of big walls).

Reckon I will be adding one to my quiver As soon as I got the coin spare I will be getting one.

More of Austin. The guy throws down hard on this big board. Sooo fun!

How good is this wave - don't get many like that coming through Warriewood Point!

Hey Blane, anyone using the 12' for down-winders like the Maliko Gulch run? I realise it wouldn't be as fast as the full on down wind boards but I'm betting its way more fun riding the swells.
Got a feeling you'd better ship some 12' Guns boards to OZ ASAP!

How many more sleeps Casso? ..

Maybe only about 10! Just in time for the Snowy comp (with 3km paddle race - 12'0" limit).

DavidJohn said...

Make sure you bring than gun to the Mambo.. The Bar can get pretty big and that gun will be perfect..

That would be very nice ... big bar - big gun. If I'm allowed to go to Mambo the twelve-oh will definitely be on my roof. If not for some big surf - at least for the Pambula downhill run.
