8ft huon pine and balsa wood gun. Quite stoked with this. The weight and balance has that magic feel. DVS done a superb job....

Kayu is that for surfing or wall hanging?
Beautiful piece, by the way. I'm guessing by your comments about balance, it's gonna get wet.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Re: Show us your guns!
There is no compromising in the shaping or construction....it is to the shapers exact specs and tweaked for total performance........handcrafted wood is on another levelMrkook wrote:looks incredible, I need a replacement gun as my 7'6 died last year and hasn't been replaced. Where is this auction?

The fact is that the design shown above is light years ahead of what you people think 'guns' are.
It's just the way it is. The board is perfectly balanced.

Re: Show us your guns!
Couldn't help myself on this one.
After buying my mate's DVS right at the start of this thread and then his (then) wife making him ask for it back, I still hankered for another good gun.
I'm not after a longboard ride but wanted another "longer" board to have some fun on in a wide range of waves and this one was to good a deal to resist.
9'1" X 22" X 3 1/8"
I've had an MC gun before which was made for Andrew McKinnon to surf Sunset.
Always felt a little stiff on the biggest days I came across on the Sunshine coast (no suprise, I know).
The board paddled faster than any other board I've ever paddled. When I first got it I took it out for a paddle at 3-4' Pass just to see what it was like.
Pretty satisfying paddling past all the guys on longboards through the low tide rip.
I remember dropping into a decent sized one at Boiling Pot on a cyclone swell and thinking how easy the drop felt on the board. Cadillac smooth and easy.
A quick call to MC confirmed this one had been made for here not Sunset so would be a lot easier to turn as those who own them are riding them in small right through to big waves.
A lot of MC's customers have also been riding these over in Indo and loving it.
Basically he's simply stretched out one of his shorter gun templates to make a board for big guys to enjoy the paddle power and early entry.
I'm not planning to tackle anything much just wanted a board that was longer, paddled like a shark and was a joy to ride.
So I've asked MC's wife Toshie if I could put a deposit on it and she's said "no problem" then paused and said there's a sold sticker on it.
Damn. Missed out!
But a bit of checking in their book and she finds out the sale fell through...stoked. It will be mine after all.
I had it sent up and was shocked when it turned up.
The fcs stickers were still on the deck over the plugs (although some people don;t peel them off).
A look down the deck showed a virgin deck.
Flip it over and the same.
A look along the rails.
Oh, yeah.
I've scored a board that's never been waxed or been in the water as far as I can tell anyway.
A look at the rocker shows this is a board that could get a lot of water time.
I'm looking forward to becoming so familiar with this board in a wide range of normal conditions there will be no unknowns when it starts pumping.

Re: Show us your guns!
Hey Cuttlefish, how's the MC going ?
I was going to grab it but you beat me too it.
I had an 8'4 a couple years back made for Andy Mac that was a similar shape and loved it.
I've just had the boys at Carabine down here in 'gong shape me up and 'all round' style gun - sort of a one board quiver for travelling.
Specs; 9'0 x 23 x 3 1/8 - 6 x 6oz on the deck and 4 x 4oz on the bottom - Single to Double 'caves.
NB - 104kg / 182cm & slowing up !
I've taken a little from the MC Mal / Man Gun, and a bit from all sorts of boards I've cruised on and come up with this.....not ridden it yet, next week will be the test drive once cured for 3 weeks.

Re: Show us your guns!
Hi Brett,
I've had a fun beachbreak session last week on it to see how it paddled and rode.
The projection of the board is phenomenal. Such a blast doing bottom turns on it.
Late drops easy with its prodigious rocker.
Plenty loose as well.
I've had an Andy Mc cast off as well.
It was 9' X 21" X 3 1/8" but had been made for Sunset so less rocker and while it paddled better than any surfboard I've ever been on it was a chore to turn in ordinary sized waves (go figure ),
That Carabine looks like a very versatile shape.
You obviously mixed the elements well.
I thought you'd stopped riding regular boards?
