This is the most graceful surfing. Is it possible to buy a 12 ft gun and surf in small waves and achieve the same kind of smoothness and glide?

@rashb Thankyou for the compliment, it was my first session on the board for 18 months so I was a bit uncoordinated but as you can see she's a smooth board. Most 12 foot guns are not ideal for the job as they are too narrow and light, but 12 feet is a good length, I have several 12 foot boards which are very good gliders. It's just a matter of getting the design right.

@RoyStewart Thanks for your response sir. I'm fascinated by these big boards for the sheer glide factor. This 12ft gun I was looking at is plenty wide 12' x 23.75" x 3.75. I'm trying to find something to simulate your board on the cheap or at least that kind of glide. With you having riding some huge boards would you say the difference in glide between 10''6 and 12 ft is not that much. Or is it drastic?
rashb 9 months ago
@rashb Well it all depends upon the other design factors, in particular width and weight . There is a big difference though, all else being equal. I'd have to see the board you are looking at but what I've seen of most so called gliders out there is that they are like noseriding shapes with a slight point at each end... rather parallel in the planshape. That feature makes them poor at turning in trim. They also tend to be too thick for good control.
