Shortboard Surfboards don’t come much better than this!

The Tail Gunner Shortboard

This new shape has taken about two years of R&D to develop the hull design, it’s been fine tuned to deliver the right amount of lift and drive to give you maximum speed and maneuverability. Just like the bigger Tail Gunner Mid everything about this new design is original and has been thoroughly tested over the last year. The new Planning hull design holds really well on steep barrelling faces while still allowing the tail to release for some lovely rail to rail turns and cutbacks, I’m quite proud of this board design as it has been a long process to get it right but as soon as you ride the Tail Gunner you will understand.

Tail Gunner Shortboard features

First of all you have the nice curved outline which holds a decent amount of volume throughout the board enabling you to go shorter by about 4″, then you have the rails and bottom contours combo which work together to create a lot of lift and deep wave penetration this gets you right into the waves power producing speed and drive in the turns. The rails and bottom work due to the Planning hull design the rail edge is further under the bottom due to the chinned area of the planning hull this allows the rail to punch deep into the wave and so makes the rail more effective, it also allows this area to hook into the wave giving you stability. The planning hull produces loads of lift especially on takeoff you will find the Tail Gunner catches waves very easily and the popup to riding is very smooth. The bottom goes from Planning hull to a deep double concave in the tail, the tail is a unique pin tail design that fits the wave perfectly and together with the rear contours it delivers a great platform for power turns and cutbacks. As well as the Tri/Quad fin setup pictured above you can custom order this shortboard as a Twin and trailer this converts the board into a great Twin Pin surfboard that still performs very well in steep waves as well as your day to day surf conditions.
