Solid Balsa Hawaiian Gun

Wow!!!.
Aloha Mark.
You are a talented artist.
That may be the most beautiful balsa gun I have ever seen, and I have seen more than most.
I almost subscribed to the mag, but it is a bad idea, me being on Kauai etc.
Congratulations and mahalo for sending it to me, Be well.

Thanks Mark. Board sitting @ 50m from line up, but probably won’t make it off the wall. Wife Gaby likes it so it’s a win. Cheers. Bruce

I thought I should give you some more feedback on my 10’ gun you made: I’ve ridden it a few times now, probably 2.5 - 3 X head height is the largest I’ve taken it out in yet. It is by far my favourite board
The only time it’s been to a point was once at The Pass at about double head height. It did exactly what one would expect of a quality gun: Straight line speed and predictable turns. It has a surprisingly tight cut-back also.
All the rest of the time it’s been surfed in considerably less accommodating beach break on the outer banks at Surfers Paradise. Which is what I bought it for, and it beats expectations: I love it totally: On waves I wouldn’t dare drop into on my others boards, I can slot the rail comfortably into the steepest face and just choose where I want to go when I want to got there. On top of which it is super-responsive at any speed. And on really dirty days, the pronounced entry rocker lets me surf some ugly lumps on the face without pearling and sending me pole-vaulting like I do on my other boards on the same waves. If I had to strip my quiver down to only one board, this it.
Further to which it’s stunning to look at. Not that I find it important at all, but it’s tickling to note that when I’m walking back home from the surf I’m stopped all the time by people wanting to chat about the board.
And my favourite aspect about this board is its environmental sustainability. Maximum respect Mark: You’ve ticked all the boxes as far as I’m concerned.

Do you happen to have a Video of you guys making a board?
I own one of your 9’ boards… it’s Art! I literally hang it in my living room! My surf widow would never allow any of my boards to hang in the living room… but she loves this one!

ART!

Hey Mark, I christened the board today! I'll send some pics of me using it once I download them onto the computer. I don't know what else to say except we created something absolutely magical!! It was everything I imagined it was going to be and more. I already want to come and make a second one so I've got a spare
