***The Official Mid-Length Thread***

If Mick Fanning surfs like that on the board, it has to suck.
They wanted a safe space, but I hunted them down. That clown Yurine is considered an authorative voice in the mini-malibu world. Someone gotta take fight.
Damn. Sharpeye is the last holdout. They still don't have a midlength yet
Very tempting with all that epic spam messaging. "PADDLE POWER" "TOO MUCH FUN!" "YOU NEED ONE!!" "FCK YEH!"
The campfire model!The inferno dad bod model
The smouldering embers model.
The charred remains model
There’s the original idea of them being alternative designs that drew different lines on waves, you know like hulls, eggs, long fish etc. These can be interesting and fun as long as you embrace the lines they are intended to draw and you don’t try and shortboard surf them like Dane Reynolds in that original Stab acid test thingy. Kinda like embracing the fact that a 5’6 twin keel fish ain’t gonna launch air reverses like a 5’8 thruster shortboard.
And then there’s stuff like that Chilli which is essentially a rebranded mini-mal or “chunky” shortboard. It’s mostly a crutch for older or fatter surfers or intermediates who wish they could shortboard and as such will always make the surfing on them look like the poor imitation of good shortboard surfing that they are.
( see mick fanning above etc)
Convince me I’m wrong?
Agree, however in the winter with full gear and usually shitty surf I find I can enjoy a session on a midlength that would frustrate me on a shortboard.
Yes, just trying to maintain a one stop shop for all your flaming.
