Im looking at purchasing an 8 ft something and 9 foot something guns and am eyeing up the sicario from christenson.

Anyone have one and/or ride reports? or just seen one on the rack and felt one under the arm?

Thoughts or feedback would be appreciated

Haven't seen one up close. @tomloweyo swears by them, but have only chatted about them, never seen ridden.

Here's a little vid

Thanks Island bay have watched that review a few times and the foil looks good. was hoping someone had held one under the arm or ridden one.

You mentioned tom lowe swears by them, have you had a convo re the bord? keen to hear if so

Nice one, Supy! Big blue beast.

Here's Lowey on a 9'2. Deep enough?

I have, but it was in the surf between waves, and it's sometimes hard to get a word in sideways with him, haha.
Next time I see him, I'll grill him on the subject.

Edit:
Here's a guy on the surfer mag forum (kool-aid). You could always msg him for more detail. I think that's a 9'6 he's talking about.

"Sicario is epic. Feels great sized down from a big boy gun. Paddles and catches waves like a dream. Doesn't have as much nose rocker as my Carerra, but still has more nose rocker than most of my other guns so it's fits into the pocket nicely. It's probably a little wide for my tastes at 20.75, but it works well enough. The extra volume is a treat in the crowded lineup. It's got to be over 55L bc I can't really duck dive it. Been using the Billy Kemper quad fins a bunch this year. Not sure how I feel about them. They're noticeably faster than a regular big wave quad setup, but I find them a little harder to turn with, at least in these scenarios."
