Comp Gun

The Stretch Surfboards Comp Gun represents a revolutionary step in big wave surfing, bridging the gap between performance and stability. Designed by renowned shaper William Riedel, this contemporary quad gun marries cutting-edge technology with decades of surfboard innovation. Born from a lineage of high-performance boards, the Comp Gun gained prominence when surfer Anthony Tashnick rode a 9'4" variant to victory in the Men Who Ride Mountains contest at Mavericks in 2005, redefining the concept of performance quads. With a slightly shorter and wider tail, along with a carefully crafted outline, this board offers unparalleled versatility, allowing surfers to make bold maneuvers on challenging waves.

Engineered for speed and control, the Comp Gun features reverse vee bottom contours that adeptly cut through choppy water while minimizing surface friction. This enhances the rider's ability to maintain velocity when tackling rough faces, providing confidence in the most critical moments. The board's generous width—typically maintaining dimensions of 20.25" to 20.5"—ensures optimal paddle power, making it easier to catch and ride large waves. Designed with fin configurations that can accommodate 3.75” to 4.0” Stretch template fins, the Comp Gun excels in delivering responsive feedback, thus empowering surfers like Nic Lamb to push the limits on the Big Wave World Tour. Available in custom lengths ranging from 9'0" to 10’+, it seamlessly aligns with the needs of dedicated big wave surfers who seek both performance and reliability in their equipment.
