Wade Lawson's Reno Template Big Wave Gun... I miss riding this board... bills claimed this one! I guess I'll just have to shape another one one day..

Here's my Reno Template Big Wave Gun. It now belongs to "Big Wave Wade" up near Mavericks.

Single Fin Box.

Down Railer.

Hugs the face, and gets you out of the Danger Zone!

No comment on the spray can paint job......

I just received a phone message from Wade. He paddled out at heavy mavericks on this board, made the drop, made his bottom turn, came up the wave face, prepared for his shacking, took the lip full on and rolled like a ragdoll in a washing machine with his board into the boneyards.

He suffered a broken back, damaged vertebrae, a collapsed and punctured lung, torn liver, and a broken leg. Believe it or not, the Big Wave Gun made it out unscathed... so I guess I can say my shapes have been proven to hold up at MAVS.

His comment to me was that Mav's is "REAL"... and that it was worth every bit of the thrashing.

I have to give Props to WADE!!! There aren't too many surfers who would take a thrashing at MAVS, call me up on the phone from his hospital bed, leave a message on my voicemail explaining the thrashing he took, and place an order for another board!!!!!!!

Thats true dedication!
