Re: Midlengths
Can we compare post numbers to BPole in the same time period. Then do a quality vs. quantity analysis?

Thanks mate, I do like the look of the massive. Good time of the year to be testing onemttyfive wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 11:24 amHi jaM71JaM71 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 10:25 pmBeautiful mate..... When you have caught a few more on the massive, please give us an update. I am curious how they go in less than stellar waves- Toren Martyn seems to only ride perfection!mttyfive wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2020 8:00 amAfter switching to longer boards over the last year from 6’0s and below performance fishy types these are my two go too’s now
Both 7,2. and same dims - Vouch Evo single for cruisier smaller days and the Simon Jones Massive channel twin for anything over 3 ft.
The Massive is bloody fast but surfs as close to a shorter board for a board that size. Still getting used to it as it’s still new.
Hope the image comes up

Yeah, had a few more surfs with today being 3-4 ft dropping tide beachies at my local.
Comparing it to my single of the same length- due to the extra fin and channels allows for later drops ( as long as you take off and slide on rail down the face). Sits in the tube real nice and plenty of speed, again due to the extra fin and channels - sometimes feels like a rocket under your back foot as the water moving through feels like it’s getting compressed and forced out.
The rails are not as refined as I was expecting( kind of full) which I reckon if they were any thinner would be difficult to turn as there would be too much board, fin and channels engaged in the wave face to break your line into a turn. My single has thinner rails to no doubt compensate for the lack of fin engagement, etc
That being said and with this particular board- it does turn very easily and is loose for its length but also won’t slide out if you push it too hard (like my single which has to be nursed at speed to break into a cutty)
I wanted this board for larger waves ( my local Bombie & beaches when they’re good) and so I could push it a bit harder in turns, take off a little bit later in critical waves ( single would loose grip and usually slide out) and to also take off deeper when necessary and have the speed to make sections - so far it has met my expectations .
In less than Stella surf though I’ve found it to still perform as you can get in a bit earlier and still have enough responsiveness to react to what the wave is doing as crappy surf is obviously not as predictable
Cheers

Re: Midlengths
I've been surfing my 7'0 in everything.
Only thing it struggles with is swinging late on sucky ones.
Still goes great in those waves, just gotta get in a bit earlier.

Re: Midlengths
7’0” what?
Re: Midlengths
The pics here are of the actual board I have. The guy I bought it from never rode it.

Re: Midlengths
Ta, was curious.
Looks the shizz.

Re: Midlengths
There was a guy out at my local this morning on something looked about 7' (ish).
Must have had some decent volume. He was paddling into things at high tide even the longer mals were having trouble with.
And surfing well.

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
Mine isn’t particularly high volume and the flat rocker gives it the paddle more than volume imo.
I can catch tiny waves but it goes best in 3-4ft.
I like it for waves that are not quite right perfect sections then slow sections etc
My mate has a mini glider from Chris Garret in the 8’0 range and that has heaps of volume.

He just looked like he was sitting high in the water when lying on the board at rest.

7’, 21” 1/8, 2” 3/4
Profile looks the same, fin placement looks the same to me too.
Re: Midlengths
Good deal. Interesting to see what else he puts up.

Re: Midlengths
Nice. Wonder why it's an Australian Foil?
Don't answer. It's Retro I know.
Looks like a Rabbidge on the left.

Re: Midlengths
What’s an Australian foil? Made for slight more powerful waves. Thinner tail and nose?
