Whenever you want to surf big waves, that's when you need a gun or semi gun.

Did you mean new to surfing-waves? I'm confused. Anyways yea I dont think you NEED a gun for pipeline, I've seen vids and most of them dont have guns.

Ummm.. if you're asking what kind of board you need to surf Pipe, then you probably shouldn't be surfing Pipe, dontcha think?

Plus, you're from my neck of the woods, eh? Why not try something to build up to Pipe instead of just going out and killing yourself?
