CI Mid
- Thread starter kool-aid
- Start date
As I remember he got it out in the water and it sank.
I have a 7-7 mid length. I've found it doesn't work well in smaller waves but carves waves like butter when it's 1.5 times overhead. I guess it's more of a fun gun.
You are confusing the boards
The Viking Ship, Fenriz, almost sank. I did my best Roy Stewart and went for a hollow wooden board. It was not a shitlength, but a true longboat, 9 feeters! It had me near killed when it jumped out of the water. The song has aged well 
I haven't been to CA since March so I can't even imagine the COVID crowds, but just before that I learned that once you decide to ignore those folks and just do your thing sessions get a lot better. They know they're kooks. You remind them of this with your total indifference to their presence. I started smiling when I did it, and whistling random tunes. Even better.
As far as midlength I've never ridden one but they sure look fun. So yeah, not lame. Anything you can surf with speed, flow, and style is not lame.
Exciting news. Board arrived this evening. Unwrapped and some photos were taken.
Definitely nice and light for its size. It's very, very flat so it should glide pretty nicely and be fast. It's hard to see but the rails are nice and foiled, not that much more volume than my shortboards. The bottom seems interesting to me. There is a small amount of roll that goes into some pretty aggressive vee through the middle of the board and then light spiral vee out the back.

I'm not sure if it's much as I find it hard to believe that a pu/pe with tint would be less than 995. Maybe it would be 895 from the directly? Short answer is that I'm not sure.

Not really. I do it all the time.
But then again, I’ve always mixed things up so I’m used to it.
I just bought a Varial neckbeard 2.
$700 for PU vs $799 for Varial. Can't imagine a midlength with polish would be much cheaper than $999.
yeah , me too.
but there's an adjustment and I see. plenty who don't/can't make that adjustment back once they go big.
damn, hearing the prices of these boards makes me realize how spoilt we are with Stamps here in socal.
i can buy 2 new boards from him custom with paint for the price of one CI?
