Re: Lopez, it does make a lot of sense.
Re: Midlengths
This one is shaped by Paul Hutchinson who makes incredible looking boards, never had the pleasure of riding one of his boards but have dribbled over plenty. I am sure it will go well with such illustrious pedigree:

Re: Midlengths
Trying to get my head around the "splitting of hairs" between the whole mid-lengths thing. Think I'm getting close.
MidLength = board between 7-8 foot long, based off a longboard, has a single fin or 2+1. Is "cool". Why? Because Steve said so.
BigBoy Hybrid = board between 7-8 foot long, based off a shortboard though with a fuller outline and "rounder nose", thruster or quad. Only "cool" if ridden by a cool/renowned surfer, that is either now old or overweight or both. Never cool if ridden by anyone else. Why? Because Steve said so.
MiniMal = board between 7-8 foot long, a detuned and simplified blend of longboard and shortboard elements, with a "round nose", thruster set up, possible hibiscus or frangipani decals. Is NEVER COOL. Why? Because Steve said so.
Have I got the definitions down pat ???

I think they are currently struggling with the appropriate penalties for any infractions of the rules: Crabby is advocating various punishments of a perverted sexual nature; Steve is leaning towards a more rigid application of the rules and is liking banishment for small infractions and stoning, amputations, etc for more significant violations.

You aren’t the room Yuke You are just a wonky cafe table with a missing rubber pad on the end of one leg.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Re: Midlengths
There was a new 7'4 for $700 in bali last time I was there. Red and full gloss. For me, I like the balance of the widepoint just enough forward and just enough area in the tail.

Re: Midlengths
Maybe I'll get a custom big boy hybrid with one fin and decorate it with frangipanis. Confuse the fk out of the RS approval committee

Re: Midlengths
that sounds like a winner Iggs. If it takes off you might get your own model with Firewire.

Re: Midlengths
Yeah sorry go fish. Trad outline just not too wide and the tail is super thin. Waiting for the shop to put one on the try out rack
They have a Sunova fish, again super thinned out tail and low rail volume. Would suck if I liked that though, $$$$$$$$$ lol

Re: Midlengths
Machado makes them look good, problem is: I can't think of a less representative surfer than Rob Machado, he's about 45kilos dripping wet and a tiny little bloke.
be funny if fish became cool again though.
