The Shotgun Air
Pushing Limits: The Evolution of Big Air Performance
As Lieuwe enters its 16th year—marking the journey since the release of its first boards in 2010—one principle continues to define the brand: progression built on purpose.
Rather than chasing trends or short-term innovation cycles, Lieuwe has remained committed to something far more enduring. Every board is shaped by real rider feedback, refined through relentless testing, and proven by athletes performing at the highest level of the sport.
But the sport itself has evolved.
The demands of modern Big Air riding have changed dramatically—pushing beyond the limits of what a single board can deliver.
Introducing the Next Step
The Shotgun Air is designed for riders stepping into true Big Air performance.
Engineered to generate greater speed and explosive lift, it builds on a familiar foundation while unlocking new potential. Crucially, it retains the control and confidence that made the original Shotgun a trusted choice among riders.
This is not a replacement.
It’s a progression.
Precision Meets Power
With the addition of deeper channels and angled fins, the Shotgun Air delivers exceptional tracking through both take-offs and landings. The result? Increased grip exactly when it matters most—giving riders the confidence to commit harder and push higher.
Despite these performance enhancements, the board maintains a remarkably similar weight profile, ensuring it still feels light, responsive, and instantly familiar underfoot.
Performance Without Compromise
At its core, the Shotgun Air builds on everything riders already love. It preserves the smooth, comfortable ride of the original, while introducing a faster, more direct connection to the water.
This refined design allows riders to hold more power, maintain stronger edge control, and progress into bigger jumps with greater confidence. The updated outline and added channels create a ride that feels both faster and more controlled—without sacrificing the forgiving nature needed for everyday sessions.
Built to Go Bigger
The Shotgun Air is carefully tuned for riders ready to elevate their performance.
Increased stiffness and angled fins provide the grip needed for powerful take-offs and controlled, high-speed landings. At the same time, a balanced flex pattern ensures the board remains smooth and manageable, even in challenging, choppy conditions.
It’s this balance—between precision and forgiveness—that defines the Shotgun Air.
The Next Chapter of Big Air
For riders looking to go bigger without losing the comfort that fuels progression, the Shotgun Air represents the natural next step.
Not a departure from what works—but an evolution of it.
