Thing sucks as a grovler.
Caught a left and a right, knee high, mushy.
Gave up and got some sushi.

I’m only surprised by just how much it’s not a grovler.And you are surprised why?
Absolutely !! Send it back !!I just figured a 7 foot, 45 liter board would catch and ride waves better than my 5’6, 34 liter board.
Sun Sushi.my 7’0 chilli mid strength goes in knee high mush suprisingly well despite lots of rocker. where did u get sushi after?
Dude, I’ve seen all the footage.To be fair I don’t think you’re the only one. It’s not big enough to have much natural trim in tiny waves but it’s too big to fit on a tiny wave face and pump around for speed like your 5’6
Take it out somewhere with a nice lined up head high face and enjoy the long swoopy lines and effortless speed you will feel.
Watch some footage of Devon Howard on it. It’s all lined up shoulder plus waves......
But if it has a pintail, some stupid bottom contours and a bit of tail rocker it's not gonna go well in small waves.I’m only surprised by just how much it’s not a grovler.

It really is a surprisingly crappy wave catcher.Absolutely !! Send it back !!
Probably should have looked at the bottom and tail rocker before buying it.But if it has a pintail, some stupid bottom contours and a bit of tail rocker it's not gonna go well in small waves.
5 inches? Mid has 2 3/8I had a Spider Murphy mini mal 7'4" with 5" tail rocker. Surfed like I had a plastic bag wrapped around my leash.
Me and The Knost like it bent upwards.5 inches? Mid has 2 3/8
The vaquero is a hull designed to harness speed in a lined up wave and go in a straight trim line. It will do that on a small or large face. The ci mid is designed to draw smooth lines on a decent sized face.Dude, I’ve seen all the footage.
I just thought it would grovel better than it does. I‘m not likely to ride in lined up head high surf. I’ll ride a short board in that stuff.
I have a 6’8 Vaquero that works way better in knee high mush.
The heavily marketed Mid was obtained at a heavily discounted price.The vaquero is a hull designed to harness speed in a lined up wave and go in a straight trim line. It will do that on a small or large face. The ci mid is designed to draw smooth lines on a decent sized face.
you should try it on a head High day as thats What it is designed for. You might “get” it then - or it might not be your cup of tea….
Small waves either need a lot more length ( log) or a lot less that allows you to generate speed with your body movements ( mini Simmons or similar) Eggs ( which is what the CI mid is ) need a decent face to allow for their length
To be fair, between myself and A couple of mates we have ridden a lot of “mid lengths” of all types. The CI mid is by far the most finicky about wanting shape and size. Other less heavily marketed options are available…..
Jeez. You just know it’s coming… along with the Mid twin version. Every model spawns 2-3 more variants nowadaysmid-lengths were hijacked by adult learners as crutch boards. very few are surfed to the best of their capabilities in “good” surf.
i say bring back the eggs! My 7’0 from the early 00’s was an excellent compliment to my lost speed demons.
CI needs to make a CI-Mid Everyday, I guess.
CI already makes a mid twin.Jeez. You just know it’s coming… along with the Mid twin version. Every model spawns 2-3 more variants nowadays
