So many mid6s coming up second hand says the demographic that wanted a mid length that performs found they couldn't actually ride a mid length that performed, enter user friendly bossup.
talking to them about doing a 6’3 middy with a squash tail and the nose from that full strength as a new DDCHILLI FULL STRENGTH (PU)

You mean longboarders? You can ride a midlength like a longboard (not lean into turns). I really liked the way the mid6 performs but it needs good waves, and on the rare days when the waves are good around here I’d rather be on a performance short board, so for me the mid6 didn’t make a lot of sense so I replaced it with a CI mid twin. That board will ride anything, and decided not performance oriented, it’s so flat it’s trickyer to surf than the mid6.
6’10-7’2 is my preferred range. If I were to get a custom Vaquero I’d go 7’0. Vaquero Edge I’d go 6’8-6’10
What about width and thickness? Or is that less important with these shapes?
I just go with whatever the shaper/design calls for based on length. For example a typical 7’2 Vaquero is going to 3 1/8 - 3 1/4 thick, IIRC.
Nice. Yeah I have a 7’7 Beamish twin i grabbed used and still questioning the width and thickness. Sort of foiled rails so should be fine.
Mid length is such a catch all term that covers so many different shapes it’s very hard to provide any rules. A lot depends on how much the “mid” you are looking at is an overgrown shortboard vs being a more “alt” design.
Too think/wide? Or not enough? Post a pic and give it the old eyeball review.
Width and thickness. 21” w and 3” thick but a pretty gunny outline. It’s also very flat.
I wouldn’t buy it. Too big all around - for me - for a “mid”. You might like it though.
Yeah we’ll see what happens. So far only one session in reeling kind of heavy beach break. Might be a fun board when I surf with my dad, he likes mellower waves so it’s always hard to find a spot for the both of us.I wouldn’t buy it. Too big all around - for me - for a “mid”.

It seems proportionally balanced but I’d like that shape/design to NOT be “very flat”. Outline and channels says big steep waves, rocker says small mush.
Good luck with that.
Maybe it’s got the right mix of secret juice. Maybe it’s a piece of sh!t.
Would be fun with just two little side bite in the fin boxes instead of keels.
