Retiring a Byrning Spear and want to know what other big wave board shapers you guys would recommend. In particular for Outside Corner.
Looking for something built heavy.

Fuck norchy now i want to know who ya are talkin about the can opener (red) one of the best surfcraft on earth assymetric 8 channell single hook fin by col smith design. You sure it wasnt 6"10 riq used ? Sherro was one of em in that final . For guns or is it indo guns ? Try my board model the desert storm by webster surfboards

caml Friday, 27 Mar 2015 at 11:33 pm new

If its big waves in indo you want catch & ride then the "desert storm" is no joke for big long tubes, preferably as quad fin . These arent pretend guns like the thin pinny bent featherweight fakes . you will catch more big waves & last longer . Genuine indo gunners only .no tyre kickers or popout fakers.

norchock Saturday, 28 Mar 2015 at 01:57 am new

Ha ha thats a good one caml "no tyre kickers" no definitely the 7'6mr sprayed to look like timber veener .but the can opener hey,I think marty delta has it?what about the col smith chadie has..didnt you take that to gland once?thats a weapon maybe made around the time col passed away.dougy mccann loves to talk about those days .I worked for chadie many years but back east now

How big of a desert storm would you ride at 10 ft outside corner Caml?

seal Sunday, 12 Apr 2015 at 08:43 pm new

I reckon you can't go wrong with a gun from Webster Surfboards @ Ballina. He's doing some great looking boards for the big wave crew and some of the shorter guns would work great in big Ulu's.
I've seen heaps of the Lennox / Ballina crew ripping on his boards and they all seem to love them, even saw a young girl ripping Lennox point on one of his boards last time I was down that way.
So I'd definitely back what caml says and get a gun off Webby for big Ulu after what I've seen and heard about him and his boards.

Ok gotcha the mr . I know it norcho . Riq has the big red & chaddy model . Ya i took it to g.land. Fr 76 i reckon about 6"10-10"6 watever mood is right mate ! Surface conditions , period direction , tide etc . Taken into account them stroke in with ease on a desertstorm heavy water gun .

Jim Banks has a few nice secondhand 7'0 - 8'0 s for sale on his site for Bali pick up
Reasonably priced but not sure about the glassing some serious deck denting going on .

chin Wednesday, 22 Apr 2015 at 04:44 pm new

Was looking at his site recently too Udo, and noticed his "Hi glass" glassing option.
Anyone know what the is? Most of his personal 2nd hand boards for sale seem to have it.

udo Wednesday, 22 Apr 2015 at 04:59 pm new

His site says HiGlass is a special glassing technique ?

freeride76 Wednesday, 22 Apr 2015 at 07:31 pm new

caml Wednesday, 22 Apr 2015 at 08:41 pm new

Fr76 good idea mate . They are designed for tuberiding where as ? How many boards are designed solely for big & barrelling waves ?

floyd Tuesday, 23 Jun 2015 at 05:24 pm new

Dick's boards are surfed in Indo .. check out pics on Dick's website & Facebook a/c

Im sure they are floyd..guns??who the bad boys on dvs...i dont mean some cunt on a twin keel fish at canggu.

Shatner'sBassoon Tuesday, 23 Jun 2015 at 06:24 pm new

there's a near-new 9'0 Banksy in Rosey's factory at the mo...perfickt for outside corner...cheep price for you...or maybe straight swap for a Webster??

norchock Tuesday, 23 Jun 2015 at 06:46 pm new

Forget the banksy .tell dutts to hurry up with that fin..rosie is well worthy with his product.

uplift Tuesday, 23 Jun 2015 at 07:07 pm new

Duttsy's booked out for the next 3 years, and had to contract the fin out to Gaul... you're doomed.

did you check his web & Facebook pages? Me thinks not. Pics of H @ Gland and others ... big enough. don't have to be a punce with sponsor's logos all over your board to surf indo

freeride76 Thursday, 25 Jun 2015 at 01:33 pm new

This is why I reckon that AB was a little under in volume, would have been nice to have a little more paddle power so the drops weren't so late.

Anyone know who this guy is? Was only two of us out for a while and this guy got a couple of bombs.

Yeah thats cacho, puerto rican/hawaiian guy runs the Mexican at padang. He loves it.

Caml, what fin set-up are you running in your desert storm?

Above he mentioned Quad.

Pulled the trigger on a 7'6" Webster Desert Storm.

Just a beesdick more refined than Caml's one that was there to look at.

Got the sea snake stripes on the bottom.

For Big Lenny or you got an OS mission in mind? Quad?

freeride76 Thursday, 9 Jul 2015 at 03:42 pm new

For Cloudbreak/Outside Corner and the Point.

Got a five box futures setup, plan on surfing it mostly as a quad.

Will post some pics when it gets shaped.

caml Thursday, 9 Jul 2015 at 05:52 pm new

Congratulations fr . What board did u have a look at ? 7"6 & 6"10 possibly are there now . Quads are working so good with them . I really believe these are next level guns & make surfing so easy compared to lesser volume shapes . We are having success with customers really liking their new bds recently . We have a 9"5 on the drawing board today .

caml Thursday, 9 Jul 2015 at 06:11 pm new

Ok the 7"6 ! It's a magic one . So far there is a magic 7"6 & 10"5 from the first batch of a 4 bd quiver . Yeah refine it for yourself SS
