Fresh Stuff this week At Diverse

[Cpt.Caveman]

Surfing for me is fun and stoke with what i ride…
the mid length revival has a few poignant reasons..
in random order..
1- commercial.. its a board not everyone has already and theres not many around s/h..
2- commercial... you can't get them from the import pop outs yet or chinese shops, gsi etc
3- pleasure … they are easy to paddle.
4- pose.. you can ride them easily and look stylish if you have basic skills…
5- crutch… no-one expects you to do decent turns or rip on one.
6- function.. more foam , longer= catch waves earlier.
7- practical.. anyone from beginner to expert can get on one and the 40kg kid to the 100kg uncle can borrow it.
8- function...with a bit of shuffling they will go slow enough to get barrelled and fast enough to get you thru a few sections..
9- fashion.. the hipsters can get away with it and the non-hipsters can too….

Haha very good

I got a canon 7D, tripod, 50mm lens,all in a lowepro backpack and a few other things. Still under warranty with original box and instructions etc... It's all in perfect nick.

Just finished my last photography unit at uni.

The whole mid length ting is kinda interesting, dont know about you lot but riding anything from 7'2 - 8 and half foot is tougher work in 2 ft or less than a fat shortboard or fish I reckon, they work great in 3+ fatness for me. I just traded a 6'10 2+1 for a 6'0 and with the run of crap 3ish ft I wish i still had it for to ping into some little summer high tide wedges.

Will check into the long board forum and ask the best long board to learn how to nose ride unless theres a suggestion or 2 here.

[feraldave]

in all reality the longboard will ride the nose and cruise better than anything in 1-2-3 foot fat slow waves... the 6'0 will turn and swoop better than anything in 1-2-3 foot slop...

the mid length will just.. get you out there.. and get you a couple waves..

[feraldave]
