DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Easy Paddling and Glide
The Mid Length Crisis offers smooth paddling thanks to its moderate rocker and forward wide point. You'll immediately feel how easy it is to catch waves, even when they're soft, letting you get more waves per session and enjoy a more casual surfing experience.
All-Condition Versatility
Designed to perform in both small and powerful waves, this board adapts to a wide range of conditions. Use it for a cruisy session or to push your turns a bit harder when the waves turn on.
Rail-to-Rail Transitions and Maneuverability
The subtle vee bottom that flows into a double concave (Spiral Vee) makes for easy rail-to-rail transitions and smoother turns. The thinned-out rails increase sensitivity, allowing for more precise adjustments.
Flexible Fin Setup
The 2+1 setup lets you tune the board's feel to your style: ride it as a single fin for long, flowing carves, or add the side-bites for more drive and control. We recommend experimenting to find what works best for you and the conditions.
Durable Construction
Glassed with 4oz on the bottom and 6+4oz on the deck, the construction is focused on durability and creating the right amount of inertia to maintain your flow. This slightly heavier build also helps stabilize the board on the glide.
A Modern Mid-Length Style
The semi-traditional outline and forward wide point strike a perfect balance between classic style and modern performance. The result is a user-friendly board that still has an amazing feeling of glide.
