Au contriaire…1/2 the sticker price of $1495. So less than used ones go for and that’s in AUD so about the price of a couple of six packs of Bud Lite in USD.You're the one who paid usd 1k for a mini malibu with condom fins for that special feel.

The board is trash. They just add some random design elements to make it "special" for the customer buying it.
The only thing stupider than midlengths are the people buying them. They had a run here too. Took about two seasons for people to realize they suck.
That looked incredibly unfun.
A true groveler - i.e. a board that redlines at waist high.I gotta agree with casa, that didn't look very fun but in those conditions i'm not sure anything would look good. not sure what the best board for that would be.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen those ridden at shitty south jetty. Never any longboards out there either. It’s got enough push for a performancey mid, if you’re into that sort of thing.A true groveler - i.e. a board that redlines at waist high.

I have seen a Cybersim in those conditions and it was working great.
What kind of waves are you planning to ride that in? Looks kind of gunny.Things have gone a bit quiet in the thread so here's a YOLO I picked up today. Local shaper...Surman shapes made in their factory about 3 mins from my house. 7'4" x 21" x 2&3/4" 47L. Shop grom cleaning off the price sticker. S wing mid keel 470s.View attachment 165154View attachment 165155View attachment 165156View attachment 165157View attachment 165158
This. My experience is mids come to life at head high and above. We used to call them semi guns.I've mentioned this before and that CI vid sums it up. Mids don't make sense on small waves. A groveler allows you to generate speed easier or a longboard allows you to glide easier. Mids to me shine most on a decent size face where you have the room and time to use the extra rail length.
With my bad eyes I thought I was looking at feet. That's pretty piddly. Then I looled closer and saw meters. Oh yeah. That'll be the right tool for the job.This should do to get the ball rolling.

It's similar to a MOTE Fiji model. The Shaper glasses MOTE's, Outer Islands and CI mids in their shop.With my bad eyes I thought I was looking at feet. That's pretty piddly. Then I looled closer and saw meters. Oh yeah. That'll be the right tool for the job.
That will be first port of call. Waiting to see how Steve's forecaster notes on Swellnet paint the picture. Happily I've just had acclimation surfs OS so should be fun.Boiling Pot @Retropete ?
