Mid Length Crisis

Jon has been making many different versions of mid-lengths, mostly customs ordered for surfers in Japan, but lately he's been building this one specific design for a bunch of his friends and a few select customers. The response has been great, so we've decided to embrace the movement and offer our version of the mid-length to everyone.

The MLC has a beautiful foil from nose to tail, with a rolled deck that leaves the meat in the middle of the board to help with paddling and nicely thinned out rails for sensitivity and bite.

The rocker is a moderate, long, clean curve running from tip to tail without any radical changes or flip. It is designed for fast paddling and to easily generate speed, carry flow, and smooth turning at any speed.

The bottom contours are a mild vee with double concave built into it (the old school term is "Spiral Vee"). This basically means that the board has no problem tipping from rail to rail, making smooth transitions through turns an easy accomplishment for all levels of surfer.

The fin set-up is 2+1 single box, which gives you options of single fin flowing or the added drive and control of some small side-bites.

The stock glassing is 4 bottom and 6+4 deck for a little added weight and strength.

Model family: Velocity Project.

Fin & wave range: Medium/Standard | Single and 2+1 | 1FT - 8FT.

Bottom: Medium Low · Vee with Double to Vee · Medium Low.

Volume guide:

Our volume guide can help you figure out a good estimated volume for you to base your next board off of.

Ability/weight/volume numbers are not exact, but can give you an idea of where to start. This chart is assuming volume for a basic performance board to be ridden in weak to good waves.

* Generally speaking, you would want to ADD volume for a board designed for smaller, weaker conditions. * You would also ADD volume for a step-up/gun board for use in even bigger, more powerful waves. * Added weight (thick wetsuit, booties, etc.) should be calculated into your weight. * You generally want to balance the added ease of paddling (more volume) with sensitivity and performance (less volume).
