[ "Ospreys" / Semi Guns ]
The "Osprey" or
Semi Gun is designed for paddling, speed, control, and
quickness in larger and thicker waves. Paddling and entry are a
premium in these shapes. Performance is also an essential part
of this design - quick response and maneuverability are
essential to surfing effectively in these conditions. Semi guns
feature the same elements of design found in a short board
scaled to the conditions. Design features - Rocker: Speed
box or continuous. Profile: Well foiled with a lot of
hidden volume. Outline: Round Pin. Bottom
Contours: Vee to single concave, vee to single to double, or
tri plane to vee. Rails: Low and thin or low and full -
tuned to surf conditions, surfer's size, displacement, and
technique. An essential part of any surfer's quiver who charges
extreme conditions. |
