My midlength madness has grown from 7ft to 8ft boards the last 12 months, will I officially be a longboarder by Xmas?

My 7'2 bonzer set up is now my "shortboard"......

But I am loving it

Give Sal a gig, he is insightful... In fact he is everything Joe turpell is not!

Nice Jet, you can certainly mix it up with those options.

Have you gentlemen run the crossbreed as a single?

100% Barton & Ronnie are the only two I can tolerate

Yes I remember that one, looks beautiful..... Irreplaceable now unfortunately. Did you have an outer islands at one point?

Probably was Buddy, I can't remember it now but if they don't advertise it we must ve hit a nerve, anyways who cares.

Have you still got the beautiful JD's beery?

It was all Batoes fault, he spotted a board that looked like a vbowls and we commented. Next thing we re both banned! Ridiculous really, it was like saying a hypto krypto and a Howard Mini look similar in outline or something. Didn't realise hipsters were so sensitive!

If there are no bare buttock extended bottom turns, I am not tuning in

Those Pacers do feel great under the arm, I have fondled a few by Matt Keane, beautiful rails. Who shaped your Trev?

Time to fire this thread back to life, I just bought a McCoy...... Only joking! This is a 90 page thread spanning 5 years, it's a real surf midlength chronicle, plenty of good info and boards we shouldn't have sold! I am having a midlength crisis or as I prefer to think refinement/evolution. I am do...

......and eating pasties.

Pasties are a Cornish delicacy

Greenmount used to have a wave that fully wrapped around the point before “the superbank” which was pretty fun option to escape the crowds when Kirra was pumping.

Took it for a paddle up at the beachie on Saturday. Conditions less than ideal. 2ft @ the alley.
Was nice to get a feel for it. Great size board for me. Love how it paddles. Can’t wait to get it in that 3-4ft range.

Beautiful board Jet, keep us updated with those ride reports

Love the look of your jd beery, beautiful outline. Looks like it can cover a lot of bases

CB = 7x21x3 HM = 7'2x2 3/4x21 1/4 The CB closer to a thruster and great in 2-4ft. Has a domed deck and is pretty loose. Where as the HM thin foil and razor sharp rail is reminiscent of a bonzer egg shape. It's great in faster, larger and more powerful waves. Both are great on the back hand, no trac...

Look forward to seeing it and hearing the ride report beery
