Pm riverider pretty sure he has one. If anywhere near as good as the World Wides it will be a good board.

Thanks guys for the replies. I'm on an 8'7" JL Kwad but have been contemplating something like the 8'7" stun gun or the 8'3" super tech for steeper waves. When you say is unstable out the back River rider do you mind if I ask what your weight specs and height are?

And for something a little bit different..I have heard nothing but great things about the performance of the new Laird short boards - I had a squiz as one at the SUPWA Super Demo day on Sunday. For big walls and high line grip the serrated rails provide extreme grip. The finish of the boards is premium - they seem to have applied all the construction and finishing goodness available from the Kinetic factory. Wow is the word

Hi Guys,
I got the 8'3 supertech for a while. Used back to back with the Stun Gun 8'2.
Even if only 5 liters difference I found it more easy and stable.
Another amazing board from master Jimmy!
Will not replace the SG but in smaller waves like to head high it does manouver better.
I used with the kwad set up. Board fly and turn really tight..
If the Stun Gun was a mix between the Mano and the Kwad but more going toward the performance of the Mano.

The Supertech is a mix again of the Mano and Kwad but more toward the performance of the Kwad...

Not sure if I made myself clear here!!! ha ha ha..
And of course come in super small sizes so is toward pro people..
For me it took the place of my Stun Gun 8'2....
Now I can go from the Supertech to the Baby Bomb or Black and Blue Noise rider depending on the conditions..
BTW is you want to give it at go just drop by!
Ciao Jankie

ps. Kwad 8'7 to ST 8'3 is quite a big step!! I would go SG 8'7...

That's some good feedback Jankie. Thanks for the offer. Yeah I'm leaning towards the 8'7" stun gun actually.

The 8 1 WW is a good option for small waves

Especially in carbon

This is jimmys take on the world wides.

"The World Wide boards are shorter in general than the Stun Guns. That's the difference, mainly. Although the tail block is a swallow, the tail in general is a little pulled. They're not meant to replace the Stun Gun. They're just an addition to the line. They're for riders who want something a little shorter and possibly more forgiving than the Stun Guns. They are a little more volume as far as the similar sizes go (8'1" World Wide is 112 liters and the 8'2" Stun Gun is 99 liters) but they ARE high performance boards, just like the Stun Guns. Aloha, Jimmy"

Hi Mick,
the B&B machine is a no compromise nose rider... Like a big long board single fin nose rider..
It does what it suppose to do like no other board out there but need some serious skill to use it!
Striker was not that great for nose riding in my opinion. Was more like an all round board.
I love my 9'6 B&B and when is waist high or smaller is my board of choice.

On the subject of JL reviews ,where's your review and action shots big fella it's been a few weeks now ??? Or are you still getting it dialed in ????

Hey tortoise, still waiting to get into some good waves, as you know it goes to crap when you get a new board, but here's something to keep you going.
