Yeah, I thought that as well, so refined. I’d love a similar sized one but with more “everyday” rails, rocker and a full 3” thick. Maybe one day!Morgan The Moon wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 6:25 amWe didn’t get along - it needed a better quality wave than the majority of conditions I go out in. It’s a really fine tuned board that I never came close to getting dialled.

Re: Midlengths
Ah, thanks mate - the fin I've got is similar - everythings been a down the line racefest so far. What fin position you find is working best. Mines as far up the board as it will at go at the moment.batoes wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 8:25 amI used a 9 inch liddle flex fin for a while, but have moved on to a 8inch greenough 4a. Works perfect. Won't be changing fins again in this board.Morgan The Moon wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 1:19 pmbatoes wrote: ↑Sun Jun 18, 2017 9:21 pmI've ridden a few hulls and had a vbowls, which was super flat - and you are right.

I recently got a gato heroi space pig, which i thought would be far more hipster etc than it is, but is has really good rails, rockered out, and for it's length, 7'6, can jam a hard turn.

I like. A hi performance mini mal (hello Steve ), which makes it a lot more versatile for a range of conditions than some flattened out hipster mid length.
You mentioned you added a Liddle fin which lit it up - do you remember which one? I was surprised by the versatility of this board - scored some really fun 4' beachies on it's first run yesterday and it's unreal. It's currently got a Christenson 8.5" flex fin. The swell this morning dropped since yesterday and this thing grovels unreal too.
Re: Midlengths
I like the liddle 2/3 down and the 4a right in the middle. The liddle helped the board feel quite hullish with its v bottom, whereas the Greenough really keeps the board manoeuvrable and you can move around - even to the nose. I find it surfs really well from the middle of the board. Space pig is an excellent all-round midlength. From 1ft to whatever you dare really.Morgan The Moon wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 6:37 pmAh, thanks mate - the fin I've got is similar - everythings been a down the line racefest so far.

Thanks for the info batoes.
Re: Midlengths
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

Is it too soon to share the details of your getting sacked from the bus gig, Steve?
Seemed like a decent setup .

Re: Midlengths
Nice review. Great looking board. Hot looking outline. And you’ve nailed the advantages of middies well. And they won’t fûck your shred, classic!

Re: Midlengths
Steve , I think I understand the ‘steep angular’ , brewer rails etc, but can u elaborate please?
And yeah, riding bigger boards only improves the short board act.
