Looking at a 7’0" round pin-tail, 13" (nose), 21" (center), 13.88" (tail), 2.67" (thick). I’m hoping this isn’t considered a semi-gun?? I’m interested more in a all-around shortboard that can handle smaller stuff to head high+. I’m not in the water much when its multiple times overhead, and wouldn;t need a board for that.
I’m 6’3" and roughly 205lbs. Surf mostly beach break, point break in the Monterey/Santa Cruz (CA) areas. Any help on the semi-gun question appreciated.
Cheers!
Any more thoughts? I Was doing some browsing on the interwebs… Most semi-guns seem to max out at 19" in width, regardless of the lenght.
A 7’ x 21" seems too wide to be a gun, i’m hoping.
Hi, welcome to Swaylocks.
Can you post a pic? 7’ x 21" seems kinda semi-gunish to me but it’s tough to tel without a pic.
Agreed, I was also thinking possibly/maybe/semi-gunish. I’ve attached a picture.

If the picture is too small, you can get a better idea from their website:

If you’re in SC go talk to Doug Haut, Steve Colleta, Bob Pierson, Junod, Coffey. There are a lot of great board builders there. If you want a builder in Monterey PM me and I will get you the number for an excellent builder here. Why spend 450 on a Surftech? Mike
I do like the outline on the Surftech, though. That shape is a step up board for many guys for surf a couple feet overhead or bigger. I’ve ridden similar boards in smaller waves, however, as long as the surf has a bit of punch. Mike
Thanks Mike… I’m familiar with the Monterey shapers. Bispo for the most part. While I would appreciate their advice, I’m not looking for a specific surf craft, just something that will do the job, but not a gun.
The surftech board is actually going for $280 through another website… Seems like a reasonable deal. There’s a similar 6’2" x 19" squashtail, but I figure thats a wee bit short for me. Aaron.
