Yeah, the Laird and JL Guns look similar. I like that the JL boards are a bit wider. I don’t think staying on the Laird would be an issue when it’s clean out but stability might become an issue when it gets lumpy. Determining the right size is rough. The off shore reefs by my house can produce some size but it’s not a super steep wave so I’m contemplating the JL 12’ so I can have some speed to catch the wave early or if it gets mushy or a section flattens out I will have the speed to carry through. Wish I could demo both boards and different size to make the correct choice.

Thanks for the JL recommendation Area10. The board looks similar to the Laird, just wider, which might be better  The 12’ seems like it would be a good option. The 10’6” is 1” wider than the 12’. Tough decision.

Hello SUP’ers,

Curious if anyone has paddled/surfed a Laird SUP gun? If so, can you provide some thoughts on performance, paddling, speed, stability... I currently have a 8’10” Laird Surrator which I love but want something with a little more paddle speed for when some of the far reefs break by my house.

Thanks,

Josh

So DoHo Jerk was out in the water again today. This time he got his chance and shoulder hopped me on a nice one and just looked back at me with not a care in the world almost trying to Alpha male me. I called him out telling him he was f-ing unsafe and a kook. He told me I need to yield to bathers so I asked him if he is bathing or surfing then he got mad and called me an f-ing punk and said he would wrestle me on the beach if I hit him with my board. I just laughed at him and reminded him that he hit me yesterday so he is the f-ing punk. Anyways, nothing good came of our delightful conversation other than knowing he will always drop in on a sup even if he is going to hit and injure the person.

Hey sup’ers,

Just wanted to throw out a word of caution when/if you SUP surf Dohney. There is an older guy, mustache, always wears a hat, black full suit, and rides a red longboard. He is an okay surfer and dislikes SUP’s. Have seen him drop in a SUP’s a lot and he continued the same practice today. I was in position for a clean small wave coming in so I paddled for it, caught it, and saw the jerk on the inside swing his board to paddle for the wave. I was only a few feet from him with the nose of my board clearly out in front of him, he see’s me, continues to paddle, realizes he isn’t going to catch it so he quickly stalls, lifts the nose and swings it left into my legs. It didn’t take me out but it definitely pissed me off. I finished the wave, made sure he didn’t ding my board then paddle back out. He looked over at me, no sorry or even an attempt at an apology. I kept my cool because I didn’t want to ruin a fun session but man, what an A-hole. I sup surf or paddle around DoHo 3+ times a week so I see this jerk in the water a lot. Anyways, be careful if you sup surf near him because he is obviously willing to try to hurt people who sup there.

Yeah, I have been super pleased with the board. I think it has the best nose in the business. I developed an addiction to surfing my race sup at some of the outside reefs by my house. Because of that, I want to drop back down to a 12’6” Bark Vapor Ghost Carbon. Wish I could afford to have both but need to money to buy the next board.

I was shocked because my old Bark Pro Elite felt like a heavy board. Weighed it a few different times and got the same weight each time. The board feels substantially lighter than my Pro Elite.

Have had a few text’s inquiring about the weight. According to my home scale, the board weighs 22.7 pounds. This is me standing on the scale with no board then holding the board.

For some reason, (one is me being computer stupid) I am having trouble attaching photos of the board. Please text me if you want to see some pics. Thanks!
