Summary:
Designed during a knee injury that limited his surfing, James (Chilli) created the Mid Strength as a performance mid-length that paddles effortlessly and surfs with ease. This board blends the stability and wave-catching ability of a longer board with surprisingly nimble handling, making it perfect for anyone wanting more fun with less physical demand. Whether you’re easing back into surfing, managing fitness levels, or simply craving an easy day on the water, the Mid Strength offers smooth, forgiving turns and a relaxed, fast glide.Pros:
Easy Paddling & Wave Catching: Full nose and low entry rocker help you get into waves with minimal effort.
Smooth, Forgiving Outline: Accentuated curve between the feet and soft round tail provide smooth turning arcs and confidence on longer rides.
Speed & Release: Slight single concave up front and deeper double concave through the fins add speed and looseness underfoot.
Mid-Length Versatility: Surfs shorter than it looks—offering the best of both worlds for surfers looking for a manageable mid-length experience.
Cons:
Not a High-Performance Shortboard: Surfers chasing radical snaps or high-octane maneuvers may find it less responsive than smaller boards.
Size & Weight: As a mid-length, it’s less travel-friendly and bulkier compared to shortboards.
Final Verdict:
The Mid Strength is the perfect board for surfers who want to maximize wave count and enjoyment with less physical strain. It paddles and catches waves easily, then offers smooth, forgiving performance that feels much shorter than its length. Whether you’re coming back from injury, easing into surfing, or just looking for a fun, reliable mid-length, this board delivers effortless style and flow every session.
