Ariifa Gun

Shaped and designed by Dan Boehne

The Ariifa gun was featured in Transworld Surf Magazine's Surfboard Science.  It is designed to handle big, powerful, hollow surf.  The combination of 10 years of design research by Teahupoo local Ariifa "Warren" Smidt and first hand experience from the shaper Dan Boehne have turned out a design that will hold in the heaviest of situations and still turn like a shortboard in solid surf.  Former WCT Teahupoo trials winner Heimata Carroll won the Taapuna Masters on this design.
