Hard to find any reviews on this board, if anyone can help or even surfed this board.
I had a chance to paddle just on flat water the 9'6" and was amazed at how stable it was at 117 liter board, Unfourtunately didnt get a chance to surf it.
And while were here, your choice of a 11' to 12' longboard style sup, going for a combo of stability, manoeuvrability and noserideability
Hi Broadman,
I think you are talking about a Jimmy Lewis Stun Gun. I own the 9'6" version and can highly recommend it in the Quad format. This board turns beautifully, but is also very fast. You won't see the best out of it until the surf is 3ft or greater in my experience, but in these conditions it's hard to beat when compared to other boards of comparable size. Hope this helps.
Regards
Brad
Thanks Brad. Yes I also have a 9'7" stun gun and couldnt state its performance better than you already have.
The black and blue as fester says is a single fin nose riding board, but either not very popular, or not many have ridin one yet.
I think the black & blue have only just been released so you won't hear much about then, but if they are jimmy lewis they are bound to be a great board in the surf, I've got 8'11" jimmy lewis striker which I use in smaller surf, more of a longboard style sup, good noserider and turns well if you get on the back, the most funnest sup I have ridden, a good board to have in the quiver if you already have a stungun.
I have my B&B 9'6 since 6 months. Number 2 out of production and is a great board BUT is not your everyday Nose Rider!!
This is a high performance Nose Rider only for really experienced riders..
After the first session I complain to Jimmy and he told me to suck it up that there was nothing wrong with the boards but it was me..
Well he was right.. You have to forget how you ride your short board and learn from zero on this beast.
Start more back on the board to avoid pearling and then rocket to the front for speed and nose riding. Turning is old school too.
It does complement perfectly my Stun Gun and is the correct choice of board for those knee to waist high days when anything else would be too boring.
2 sizes:
9?6? 28 1/2? X 3 1/2? thick 117 liters
10?1 31? X 4.25? thick. 164 liters

PS. There is one more in Perth with a friend of mine! I will ask him to post..
PS2. Jimmy just made anew version of the B&B without the super deep scoop under the nose for less radical nose riding
I bought my Black and Blue a month ago and absolutely love it. Had the Starboard nose rider before so feel I an do a pretty good comparison.
The board is challenging for a novice as it has the 50-50 rails and 28 wide but the stability is there through great design by Jimmy, it paddles well in flat water with great glide and responds quickly from stop to go. Making it a dream to quickly turn and pick up another wave.
On the wave is were this machine really comes to life, with very little nose rocker it can be tricky until you get used to it- you can bury that nose quickly- but good nose riding is all about being quick on your feet. The nose section is hollowed out to give it great stability whilst on the nose, the tail is squared with a an old school single fin which between both anchor the tail to the wave and slow the board to keep you on the nose.
Overall it's a great board to have in your quiver
Hope this helps
appreciate your replies. Seems to be quite a specialized nose riding board. Maybe to have as an xtra board, not your only board.
Cheers
I'd imagine the 10-1x31 version is a bit more adaptable and user-friendly than the narrow 9-6 one. That's the one I'd get.
Wondering anyone tried the 9 6 black and blue and the 9 5 striker and able to give a comparison 
Is just a version for heavier guys...
It will still require skill to use.
The version without the deep scoop is more forgiving.
Definitely is not a one board quiver!

Interested in finding out how the JL 9'6 Black and Blue compares to the Laird 9'6 surfer ..... anyone tried them both?
