Midlengths

[Thud]

Good info. I’ve had the opposite. I had a 7’2 I love remodelled down to 6’4 (shaper had done stacks of times) Blah...sold it on within a month.

Which one you gonna buy?

[Thud]

Add 215 US to get to the Airport. They do look tasty

[Hatchnam]

Which one you gonna buy?

None. I’m soon going to get my finger out and sell some boards and go see mike psillakis about a step-up middie. Want it to be fun in smaller conditions, but shine in the double overhead range. Something that’s going to carve hard at speed, knife late drops, and turn well tight in the pocket. Might speak to him about his wide point forward model, as a 2+1.

Go local, good.
Psillakis know his stuff.

[steve shearer]

I much prefer a McTavish sherpa to those style of middies.

[Hatchnam]

McT Sherpa is nice. But for the upper size range the Bing Maui Foil and Raven look like they’d handle better.

I know where there' 2 x 6'10" Sea gypsies that have only been ridden 2 or 3 times. One is a 2+1 and the other a thruster. Both in stock 6'10" dims I believe.
Look on gumtree. They are both at Alexandra headland Beachbeat surfshop.
here ya go:h

Hey nice one mate!! Got it

[tootr]

You bought that?

Looks nice. A good leave-in-the-car board?

Yeah bought it, looks nice huh. At that price will be able to sell on and not lose any money if it's not right but I think it will go pretty good for what I want.

[Cuttlefish]

Good stuff. It looks like a very dependable shape (I felt it up in the shop but already have a couple that fit in that slot) that should cover a broad wave spectrum and size range. Let us know how you like it.

[Trev]

So loofy.
Cuttlefish felt up your stick.

[Cuttlefish]

Still probably has my fingerprints on it.
Hopefully no DNA!

[Drailed]

Had to use both hands didnt you cuttlefish

My two cents regarding mid lengths.

Have had a 7’2 Vouch evo in the garage for the last 4 years or so riding it on occasions but never really gelling with it mainly because I’ve been used to concaves on 6’0’s and like performance fishy shapes ( of which are still fun), and not rolled bottoms. I’ve been riding it consistently over the last six months and it has re invigorated my surfing. Mainly through not over powering the board. It definitely makes you read a wave differently and smooths out the style. Also not having to compete with ultra light zippy groms and the like.

The retro shapes are also kind of refreshing to the same old thruster shapes you see around and kind of add to the motivation to keep jumping on it.
Not saying I’ll neglect the shorter boards, however for now just enjoying the trim and different turns you make.

Just my input

I heard VISH middies are great
