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

Love a mini simmons in any waves that aren’t hollow, up to overhead and beyond if it’s mushy(so most California waves most days)
You can make them not slippy. My 6’0 twin is the fastest board ever made by anyone other than roy stewart obvi

anything with a flat rocker works, short or long.

Thanks for the input guys. I live on the gulf so waves are typically small (knee-waist) and weird. Can be straight mush or a little “punchy.” I have an 8ft foamie I bought for teaching my son on but haven’t succumbed to taking it out without him yet. Flat rocker is definitely what I’m after. Have to decide if I want to give a mini sim a go

Let's qualify that by saying "works to generate speed." If by works you mean hooking turns in a pocket, not so much. Also, too much outline curve can slow a board down even with flat rocker.

For me mid lengths work in small waves (waist high and below) if I just want to go down the line, maybe pump a little. But in general I use mine when the waves are head to overhead, then they come alive and give you the big wrapping turn sensations. Head and a half...carving rollercoasters...wooo wooo!

CJ Nelson 7’ Outlier. Like a big mini Simmons for small wave junk busting. Has belly in front and the roll goes into the rails so they don’t catch in chop and foam climbs. Knee to waist high is zero problem for it to zoom around on. See Realwatersports review.

S-Boss midlength. The Boss up.
Oi vey!

 

[stringcheese]

7'10 Thick Lizzy w/ the runners in.

Still can't say enough good stuff about mine, only riding it as a single so far. Haven't tried it with the Bonzer runners yet but keep hearing good things.

Real fun stuff on the channel behind the video "Blue" from Japan for guys who swing this way.

@Havoc. 6'6" tested so scraped in as a shitlength by the skin of its ball sack!

 

[diegof_carpintero]

Can anybody explain the difference in feel between channels that run all the way out the back, vs ones that fade before exiting the rail? Also, the center thruster box looks to be 6"+ up...

maybe a little late......and obvious....
with channels that run all the way out the back -------------> you are increasing the main tail rocker (inside the channels)
with channels that fade before rail ---------> you are flattening the rocker

Selling my very new 6’6 Roswell if anyone is interested. This was my first foray into the world of eggs and mids, and not really my thing.erBB discounts apply.

I watched a couple of the vids. He surfs better than Yuri (and I've heard LIddle hulls are difficult to surf). And the waves look kinda fun, kinda mushy butbetter than where Yuri surfs. And I LOVED the song in this clip.

The GOAT is sliding down the mountain. Doesn’t make the cut and within days has brought out his first midlength clip.
He’s never ridden this much volume hey. Should rename it the “Goat boat”.

Slater off the tour and immediately on a funboard

He could kinda talk it up, but he didn't make himself ride it. The transition to ex-pro to fatherhood w/ accompanying Dadbod is not going to be pretty in this case.

 

[oeste858]

Bit sad. But let’s be honest, will probably become a top-seller for FW

 

[estreet]

Must not look good surfing it if they show no clips.
