F2 Guerilla Wave 2005: 3 boards

AVAILABLE: July 04
COST: £899

This is F2’s latest wave board range: the Guerilla. Designed by Patrik Diethelm this board is quite different from the very successful and outgoing Maui Project range. Sporting new colours and a radical new design shape we get John Skye to tell us how it measures up.
