Our Range of Big Wave Gun Surfboards

Guns are designed for bigger waves. Many surfers will never surf in conditions where they can really appreciate this type of  surfboard!

If you happen to be brave and take on some of the world’s deadliest waves, you’ll benefit from the extra length of the board, which usually ranges from 6ft 6ins to 10ft. Riding big waves on a shortboard can feel out of control, and it can be difficult to catch waves.Taking into account the unique characteristics of a big wave, guns are specially made with features to make the board reliable.

Big wave guns are designed to be extra-thick as well as extra-long, and this combination helps the board feel secure when things get critical. Precision-made by hand, these boards have a narrow nose and tail so that the rails have full contact with the water. The extra length and volume will help you knife into waves early enough to negotiate the drop, and to have a good amount of rail in the water when turning.

Our top sellers include the NS Big Wave Gun and Pyzel Padillac.

A gun surfboard is a type of surfboard specifically designed for big wave surfing. Characterised by its narrow shape, pointed nose, and increased length, often ranging from 7 to 12 feet or more, the gun is built for high-speed stability and control in large, powerful, and steep waves. Guns are typically used in challenging surf conditions, like those found in big wave spots such as Mavericks in California or Nazaré in Portugal. They are not suitable for beginners due to their specialised nature and the demanding conditions they are designed for.  
Big wave surfboards, often referred to as “guns” or “rhino chasers,” are significantly longer than standard surfboards to handle the size and power of big waves. They typically range in size from about 7 feet to over 12 feet, with some even reaching 15 feet for extreme conditions.
A gun surfboard is specifically used for big wave surfing. It is designed to handle extremely large, powerful, and fast-moving waves, typically found in well-known big wave surf spots around the world.
A semi gun surfboard is a type of surfboard that bridges the gap between standard shortboards and full-sized gun surfboards used for big wave surfing. It’s designed for large, but not extreme, wave conditions.   A semi gun is perfect for surfers looking to step up from regular shortboards into bigger and more powerful waves, offering a blend of the control needed in larger surf with a degree of manoeuvrability.
A mini gun surfboard is a type of surfboard designed for surfing larger and more powerful waves than a typical shortboard can handle, but not as large as those requiring a full gun or semi gun surfboard. It’s essentially a scaled-down version of a gun surfboard.
