G-Money II XL

The G-Money II XL is a custom big wave gun — the board he reaches for 99 out of 100 times when shaping for serious surf. Doc started refining the G-Money II XL in the Canary Islands over 10 years ago, and has shaped them since for some of the heaviest waves on the planet: Puerto Escondido, Todos Santos, Baja, the cold slabs of Ireland, the winter beach break at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, and the North Shore of Oahu.

The G-Money II XL combines lower nose rocker, a fuller outline up front, and added thickness under the chest to get you into the wave early and over the ledge with confidence. The tail is pulled in like a proper gun, with a clean double barrel concave running into vee and just the right amount of rocker out the back. The last third of the board tapers and is foiled out so cleanly that the front-end volume disappears under your feet. The board paddles insane, handles late drops, goes rail-to-rail with ease, and stays surprisingly maneuverable for its size.

Reach out and we'll work with you to dial in a custom gun for your size, ability, and the waves you're chasing.

What riders are saying:

"When it comes to barrel riding, especially in heavier waves, the G-Money II is the best gun for the job. I have been using them for years at heavy beach breaks. Doc leaves the foam in all the right places to give you paddle power for those steep drops, but once in the barrel, the board maneuvers amazing, allowing you to pump and weave through tricky beach break barrel sections. The G-Money II has been a game changer for my barrel riding." — Kurt Rist

"I have been riding the G-Money IIs for a long time and it is definitely one of my favorite surfboard models! I love everything about it — it helps you get in early in super heavy waves, even into mushy waves. It is super fast and responsive. In short, my G-Money IIs have been magical!" — Coco Nogales
