[ Makaha Fun Gun]

DESCRIPTION

The Makaha Fun Gun is named after Oahu's legendary west side reef. The Hawaiians were arguably the first modern surfers to embrace progressive surfing on big boards during the halcyon days of longboards, during the short board revolution, and remain on the leading edge of performance longboard surfing to this day. The Makaha Fun Gun is a high volume full template surfboard. Rocker, profile, and outline integrate semi gun features into the design. Wider than conventional semi guns and marginally narrower than performance LBs the outline is parallel enough through the nose, entry, and wide point to offer speedy forward trim and nose riding and the curve from wide point to tail is curved enough to turn with ease and offers great control and projection. The convex bottom contours provide lift, glide, and control. They feature subtle tri plane from nose to entry to wide point and panel vee with soft rolled transition along the stringer from wide point to tail. Optional spiral vee from wide point to tail offers more acceleration out of turns. Similar to the contemporary performance longboard the rails mimic contemporary shortboard rails - low neutral nose, entry, and wide point to tucked edge in the tail engaging and releasing the board in the face of waves with predictable control. The Makaha Fun Gun is a fun, versatile, multifunction board. A joy to surf in small waves and a very reliable board to ride in the biggest and heaviest waves most surfers are comfortable surfing.

TRI PLANE to ROLLED PANEL VEE bottom with slightly crowned deck and crowned rail profile. The tri plane entry with rolled panel vee wide point to tail has minimum drag providing acceleration, projection, speed, and maneuverability. Optionally, the center plane of the tri plane can feature a shallow 1/8" concave creating notable lift and speed for nose rides, forward trim, and paddling into waves. The panel vee wide point to tail offers exceptional rail to rail transitions. The crowned deck and rail profile maintain control and stability.
 
 
 
 
TRI PLANE to SPIRAL VEE bottom with slightly crowned deck and crowned rail profile. The tri plane entry with spiral vee wide point to tail has exceptional quickness and acceleration, projection, speed, and maneuverability. Optionally, the center plane of the tri plane can feature a shallow 1/8" concave creating notable lift and speed for nose rides, forward trim, and paddling into waves. The spiral vee offers the same exceptional rail to rail transitions as the panel vee with an added degree of quickness, acceleration, and speed.
