Mid Length surfboards

MID LENGTH SURFBOARDS

MID LENGHT surfboards are designed for surfers of all ages and surfing levels. The midlengths are a good alternative as the first fiber board. They are wide from their tail to their nose. They provide great stability and make paddling easier. Something that will help you catch more waves.

What is a midlength surfboard?

A mid length board (Mid Length) is an intermediate point between a hybrid board, a minimalibu and a longboard. Mid length surfboards usually have a 2+1 or 4+1 fin configuration. An option that opens a whole new world of possibilities, since they can radically transform the way the board surfs.

For what kind of surfers do we recommend a Mid Length board?
This type of surfboard is recommended for those who are starting to surf or also for those who are looking for a board to have fun. Excellent for Mediterranean waves or summer waves in the Bay of Biscay.

What size are mid length boards?

There are different styles of mid boards and different measures, designed to adapt to certain waves and conditions. Someone who comes from a big longboard will have different expectations than someone who comes from a shortboard and is looking for a bigger board with more paddling.

The size of the mid lengths ranges from 6' 6 to 8' 0. This is not a definitive size ratio, it just gives an idea of what you are looking for.

Surfboards below 6'6 will not be considered mid length. We will group them into hybrids or shortboards, as they have a totally different behaviour in the water. Surfboards above 8 feet would become longer than mid. Longboard is a different style of surfing compared to shorter boards.

How to Choose the Right Mid-Length Surfboard

Are thinking of adding a mid length board to your quiver, but where do you start?  If you looking for an easy board for fun in the sun, look for a fuller template with softer rails. This will give you more stability and is a very forgiving board to surf for most people.

Advantages

Paddling power: The added length and reduced volume in the nose and tail gives you the necessary paddling power but still allows the board to turn.
Space: Not everyone has space or can carry a board longer than 9 feet and an average length like this type of board will allow you to carry it easily in the car.
Multipurpose: these boards work in a wide range of waves, from the smallest and weakest to the largest.
