8'oh Andreini - Diffenderfer Design

So Marc Andreini and I are talking one day and he says, "By the way, I shaped you an 8' Diffenderfer Gun."






Marc told me that the template and foil of Diff's boards always appealed to him, and he's always wanted to make them with tri-plane hull elements. "Since I made you an 8-footer I had to make my self a 9'6"!"

I've only been able to ride it in chest-high surf, so I don't have a complete review of it just yet. We should be getting some good WNW swell this weekend, so I'll give a detailed report soon. So far it's been smooth and buttery, but it wants real waves.
