Heavy WATER Demon Review: Your Trusted Big Wave Gun

The Demon is your absolute go-to gun for massive waves. Designers created this model for surfers seeking extreme challenges. Specifically, this board excels when the ocean shows its greatest strength and size. You need reliable equipment when the margin for error is zero. Fortunately, the Demon embodies the safety you need under your feet.

The Secret of the Pronounced Vee

This model features a large amount of Vee between the fins. Because of this design, the board stays glued to the water at all times. This grip is vital when you reach high speeds on long walls. Additionally, a more pronounced Vee allows the board to turn with total smoothness.
Normally, guns tend to feel stiff or difficult to maneuver. However, the Demon breaks that rule through excellent hydrodynamics. As a result, you get a fluid response during every direction change. Therefore, you can adjust your line with surgical precision at critical moments.

Proven Performance in Extreme Conditions

If you chase big waves, you need something proven and reliable. The Demon offers exactly that peace of mind during the take-off. In fact, the board cuts through the water with amazing stability. Furthermore, it prevents dangerous bounces caused by wind on the wave face. Due to this, you maintain total control even in very choppy sections.

Strategic Design for Giant Waves

In addition, the volume distribution greatly facilitates the initial paddle. Consequently, you enter the wave with superior momentum and safety. Catching waves early is fundamental in swells that move a lot of water. For this reason, the Demon becomes a natural extension of your body.
In summary, this board combines power, grip, and unusual maneuverability. Ultimately, if you want to push your personal limits, this is your definitive tool. Finally, maximize your confidence with a design built to survive and shine in the ocean. Surfers trust this shape for its consistency and strength. Indeed, it remains a favorite for charging the world’s heaviest breaks.

This board is the perfect addition to anyone's quiver looking to draw different, unique lines, and to go fast! We recommend ordering this model four inches shorter than your shortboard, and around a half to one inch wider. This board comes with keel style twin fins.

This model has 50/50 rails, and the rolled vee all help when performing sweeping carves and drawn-out bottom turns. The Standard is best surfed in lined up point break style surf and comes with a single fin box.

The Standard was built for gliding and nose riding. This model has a deep tear drop concave in the nose which allows the board to have lift when hanging ten.

The 40 oz. model carries all its volume in the chest area enabling it to have great paddle power, while the tail is thinned out for maximum maneuverability.

The bottom contour is a slight single concave with vee that starts in front of the fins and exits through the tail. This allows you to control a board with a lot of volume.

We recommend shaving 4-6" off your normal sized board when ordering this model.

The 40 oz model was a favorite of our customers when we introduced it in the early 2000s. 20 years later we are re-introducing this model for the beginner/heavier/older surfer who is looking for a performance shortboard.

The double wing pin tail gives this model stability in heavier, hollow waves.

The Zen 4 carves well on the face and doesn't have that "wash out" feel at the end of turns. The Zen 4 has a relaxed rocker which makes it a great paddler in all conditions. Designed to be ridden in better waves, the Zen 4 also excels in below average surf.
