1974 Channin Hawaiian Gun 8’ 10″

Nearly mint triple stringer gun built for Pipeline and some of the other big wave spots of Oahu’s North Shore. Channin was partners with and heavily influenced in his surfboard designs by his partner Mike Diffenderfer, it really shows here. Diffenderfer was known as the ’Michelangelo of shapers’ he was mentored by Pat Curren and influenced by Joe Quigg. When comparing this board to a Diffenderfer, it’s easy to see Diff’s influence here, in fact it looks like Diff shaped it which is quite possible. For a 1970s Hawaiian gun that has ridden some of the most intense surf known on the planet at that time, this board is in outstanding all original condition.
