In 2016, John John Florence won the Eddie riding his 9’8″ & Billy Kemper rode his to 4 contest wins at Jaws along with what is considered to be the greatest Jaws tube ride ever, but we to his credit Mark Healey named this big wave shape and was instrumental in developing and testing the design he rode winning the 2014 Billabong XXL Biggest Paddle Award.

In the years following to present day, Nathan & Ivan Florence, JJF, Makua & Koa Rothman, Eli Olson, Billy Kemper, Nic Von Rupp and a bunch of other crazy f@#$ers have put it to the test in the world’s biggest waves and they all come back saying it’s the best big wave board they have had. Like the name implies, this board is built to paddle fast and easy, with extra thickness and a fuller outline than most standard guns so you can catch and ride bigger waves with confidence and ease. It has a clean, flowing rocker, and a light vee bottom with double concaves to give you speed and sensitivity while still maintaining control in heavy conditions.

It comes as a quad, for both speed and maneuverability, and can handle anything the ocean throws at you. Made in sizes between 610 and 10’6, it is a great board for deeper water waves like Sunset, Cloudbreak, Puerto Escondido, Ocean Beach, or anywhere else that gets BIG and HEAVY.

It is also a great choice for bigger surfers looking for a controlled, easy feel in all types of waves.
