As any surfer can tell you, when you're tackling heavy faces, you gotta reach for a Gun. Our take on the classic big wave dart is a 174cm directional speed machine built around a lightweight poplar/paulownia core and a rapid sintered base. The huge nose and drawn-out sidecut is made for laying down soul turns in the backcountry, dominating banked slalom events and thundering down trails. The go-to choice of legendary bomb dropper Mike Basich.
The Gun's extended nose features carbon inlays within the construction to reinforce the flex and smooth the ride.
Our exclusive Power Rails construction wraps the core over the edge to deliver more power and grip. Together with the slim ABS sidewall, it provides a beautiful-looking finish straight out of the shaping bay.
Extra running length and our race-grade N-9000 base make the Gun faster than a speeding bullet.

Tech Details
Construction
Power Rails
An exclusive Nidecker construction inspired by surfboards. The topsheet is wrapped over a rounded wood core to meet a thin sidewall. It's a beautiful finish that's even more stunning to ride, delivering instant drive through the edge.
Topsheet
Absorbnid
An innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. Enjoy a smooth ride with less fatigue.
Inserts
4x2/6
6 rows of inserts at 2 cm intervals gives you maximum choice of stance width and works with any binding on the market.
Fiberglass
Triax Plus
Fiberglass is woven in three directions at 45° for max stiffness. The result of extensive testing, Triax Plus uses different glass densities above and below the core to deliver more consistent torsional flex, better pop, and lightning response.
Base
N-9000 Sintered
A lightning quick sintered base made from super dense material with a high carbon content to minimise friction. Wax it on the regs for race-level performance.
Added Carbon
Pop Carbon
Carbon fiber is positioned between the inserts and the nose and tail – boosting ollie power and dampening chatter.
Exclusive Tech
Booster Bars
Lightweight alloy inlays on each side of the board instantly transfer rider input into your edges – the closest thing to a gas pedal underfoot.
Exclusive Tech
Orbital Cushioning
Shock-absorbing urethane is built into the board surrounding the inserts. Enjoy a smoother ride and less foot-fatigue when charging hardpack or sending it deep into the landing.
Extras
Metallic
Eye-catching graphic details including sparkle inks and holograms.
Hot Stamp
A gold or silver graphic detail applied over the topsheet.
Diecut Base
Pure-color base materials pieced together like a jigsaw for bold, crisp graphics.
