Midlengths

Love parmenters boards. That thing would murder an eight foot point break.

It’s been a while gentlemen.

Just wanted to make sure you’ve seen this.

I know it’s a 6’4.... but if you blew it up to 7’2....

Jye in the north
Patto in the south....

We are in good midlength hands.

Murdered this: 4-6ft Point surf with thirty knots of offshore wind.

[Hatchnam]

I bet it did. I’d never want to tackle those conditions on a 6’0 JS high-perf, scratching around.

[steve shearer]

and yet it was amazing that 99% of people out there did.

hardly anyone making the drop.

Surfing Lennox in similar conditions really made me sure I wanted a 7' board for the first time since I sold my old Hot Buttered Butch Cooney Model. I must say the 6'4" Wayne Deane with belly channels I had at the time went very well out there though.

It’s worth while going back over this thread. Cuttlefish had some great information on middies before other new age shakers jumped on board. I really like my Jye Byrne in certain conditions. Lined up, clean fast waves 3/4 ft. Any bigger and hollowed the rocker is too flat, much smaller the rails too straight for me. But when you get it right it’s a fun ride. Seriously good cut back on that board.

I'm still here. I just haven't been able to log in ages despite trying. Tried sending messages to the forum mods etc and never had a response. Just had another crack and got a temporary password and was able to log in.

Yeah. Only Don sees those messages and then only every couple of months.
I can fix the problem but only if I know about it.

Hey there Cuttlefish. What you riding?

[Cuttlefish]

Still got my trusty 7'6" vquad (tri-plane bottom) that I have had for years. It's a yard stick that I use to measure any other mid length I ride. It's 21" x 2&3/4". It's a Woosley branded board shaped by local shaper John Mills who shapes for Beachbeat. It's a board that goes in everything and since it's not a Gato/Vouch/Christenson etc midlength it has bugger all re-sale value so it survived when I sold off every board I had due to a bad back.
Well that and it is a faultless surfboard in its ride characteristics.
Bought a Christenson 8' flat tracker 2.0 last week that he handshaped on his last trip here. It's 22" x 3&1/8". Definitely a cruiser compared to the 7'6".
It's good but juries out whether I can surf it often as my back is super sensitive to the torque on certain boards and their fin configurations. Hopefully it will go well on crowded points (Noosa/Alex hdld) when there's a decent sized wave.

[steve shearer]

John Mills is a very good shaper.
