This is my newest "mid-length." It took a couple of tries with the fins/placement, but I'm stoked with it now. Skates over two foot sh!t, paddles in easily and I will probably have a better idea of how it goes in bigger surf shortly. It started life as a 7'2" Russ Short file. Dropped the rocker in the tail an 1/8" and blew out the tail width at the block and just carried it forward a bit. First attempt with glass on double foil fins was a disaster. It was barely a surfboard. I was contemplating ending it's life with a chainsaw and throwing it in the dumpster. Knocked the fins off, put boxes in, changed the placement and the change was shockingly dramatic.
Yours for only $2599.99
EDIT: Did I just pull a Griffin?
Holy sh!t. Whodathunkit?
