What a good excuse for a new board, "hit a tree while out sailing Anna, honest."

The Gun board sounds good and look's good, have you seen any write up's on it?

Is the eruption unrepairable?

Obviously not a good enough excuse though.... I haven't got a nice new board yet, so have to make do with yet another repair.

I suppose theres nothing wrong with a few 'war-wounds'.

I don't know much about the Gun Boards yet, but I might have to see if I can get hold of a demo one at some point..

Heres the bumpf on it from Gun...Has anyone tried one yet??

The Fire is an uncompromising wave board for onshore and side-shore conditions. It has an articulately extended sailing range due to its double concave shape and 2 turbo channels at the tail.
The channels allow the ride of even tighter jibes with less effort, but nevertheless the Fire stays controllable and it feels loose and versatile, providing a good neutral ride.
The board reacts surprisingly quickly, but without being nervous, the rails have an excellent grip.
The well-balanced disposition of the volume is the main reason for offering brilliant early planing abilities and provides a quick acceleration, a real must-have for high jumps.


--Articulately extended sailing range hey...Now what does that mean!!
