Anyone riding bonzer5 guns?

Got a line on a 7'7 x 20 x 2 7/8 b5 for a really great price. - S cloth - immaculate condition.
50 yr old cracker looking to size up for DOH+ ish long period water moving days east coast plus some travel.

Interested in opinions.

@Maz -congrats on that JK. Super sick board.
I have. They go great!
Biggest was a 9'0 and I still have an old 7'5 gentleman's semi gun (I think malcolm calls it a California gun or something like that) that I really enjoy.

This is a thing of beauty, Bob. At 7'10", the question is would you pad it? I guess I would, but that's me. If it were over 8', I probably wouldn't. #aspergersyndrome #onthespectrum #ocdforlifebruh

Makes me think of Kai Lenny's boards too with the crazy carbon inegra big wave boards. Some interesting tech now. And then Albee riding an 8'4" or 8''8" on the west bowl makes it even harder to decide what size board to take out there

Albee is a freak. Probably the best out there, but overshadowed by bigger names on bigger boards.

And nope, never surfed Jaws but VERY MUCH want to before I get too old. Have surfed a number of Maui County breaks at size, just not that one.

Same here. Surfed alot of the west side spots with decent size. Have jaws on the bucket list now.

That's got the volume of a very well proportioned 6'3". Geezus


Aside: Check out that bottom Brewer gun! I want more pics of that. Love that stringer.
