waist to chest high reefs is what itd be for at a certain spot that you need a longer board for the crowd. i can get lots of waves on the 8ft foamie but other than cutbacks and figure 8s struggle to do much else. unfortunately with my shoulder id normally ride shortboards but cant at the moment. however i did just get a cortisone shot and its feeling much better so i'm encouraged. neighbor actually has a 7'6 i think im going try out tomorrow to get a feel for size.@hotCheetos once you get over the self-loathing of a ML, I’d say 8”-12” over your height. Personally I have zero interest in riding a ML in nice chest high reefs- that’s when almost all my other boars light up… and sadly that’s what I consider decent-good conditions for us. I only want the crowd-killing and paddling crutch when it’s stomach-high or below. YMMV. Choose your ML accordingly
yurin right foot looks unsteady. He probably fell over after this pic was taken just like in surfing.
Bro, he’s practicing his bend-at-the-waist headdip… it’s his signature move!
firewire might start paying him not to review their boards
I tried to say nothing but can no longer hold it in. I don't understand why people would even bother watching his reviews. I'm no ripper by any means but holy crap.
Even odder is that people are asking for his advice in the comments.
This is why we mid length. I couldn't handle the self-loathing that getting a longboard would cause, but I didn't want to try to shortboard waist-high waves. ML is the compromise. The glide is so fun, but you can still do a turn that is a little less boaty than on a foamie. The problem is that my ML is so fun that it starts whispering to me to get me to take it out in more decent sized conditions...@hotCheetos once you get over the self-loathing of a ML, I’d say 8”-12” over your height.

I‘ve got one of those. It grovels a lot better if you place your back foot over the rear fins. Yuri didn’t do that once, not even by accident.
I think was on beachgrit podcast chaz was talking about matt shutting down salsa for a board review.
