Which mid length twin did you go for? 🙏

[@MrNaets]

@@StephenBeale it was made by a local shaper here in South Africa. Very similar to the Cannel Islands 6’10 mid

[@robashton5254]

...yep... sometimes bigger with more volume is better.

[@ShutDFckOff]

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

The thumbnail is fire, holding the midlength surfboard with the sun setting in the background and the view from the balcony is dope!!!!

[@SunriseSessions]

Bought a smoothstar because of one of your vids two years ago. One of the best additions to my quiver 😉

[@ceeweedsl]

Yep. Getting a Smoothstar 77 even upped my game when switching back to my Carver, which I also love.. The SS enticed me into more radical compression turning which I then try for on my Greenroom. The Carver shines more on bowls (what little I can do) downhill (parking garages) or street but they are both super sweet surfskates.

[@thomastice9209]

Aloha, Kale, like you i love my go to three choices: 1) 6'2" Rusty, Dwart, best all-around short bord that I've ever owned, goes in anything from waist to double over head. has all find set ups that you would need. 2) 7'2" "Mitsven, Magic" great for those big days with long paddle out, great point break board. can set up as single, twin or single with two small sides, I ride it mostly the later. 3) My trusty 9' "Steve Stack" (hi performance long board) this board goes Anyware from overhead at Sunset Beach to small Town. set up 7.5" cutaway with two smaller sides.

[@TheGroovyGuitarDude]

Really interested in that 7’0”! I’m currently on a 9’6” that I dig, but I’m about to start traveling a lot more and want something that mostly feels like a log, but is a bit more compact and maybe even a bit more maneuverable than a traditional log. Don’t necessarily want a gun style like yours, but I think I want to find something in the 7’-8’ range that’s set up similar to a log. Thanks for sharing about your current quiver man, gives a lot of great insight! 🤙🏽

[@brolanda]

CI Mid 7' 8" could be a good fit

[@chrispewkreme]

Yes! Mid length is the way to go. I’d recommend a Pyzel JJF 7’ Log. Has a longboard shape and design. But it is snappy and loose and maneuverable like a shorter board. I’ve got a 6’8” Aipa Fusion Sting that’s magical. I used a 7’2” Hawaiian Island Creations mid length to transition away from a longboard. People seem to really like the Harley Inglesby Mow.

[@jaspervanloo9864]

How about the lib tech pickup stick?

[@germanchow1976]

Hi there! Just to share the boards in my locker: 1, retro fish for really small, mushy days 2, broken 5’10 for normal but crowded days 3, 5’8 newly board for normal days 4, FireWire unibrow 5’8 for good days 5, 5’8 Tomo copy for surf trips

[@SarahandKeelanTravels]

Great vid! Im currently travelling around Australia full time and surfing/ documenting our travels on KZbin and I find a good Australia quiver is a Twin fin (5'5), Hybrid performance board (5'10 summer board) and a step up/ mid length! a lot of the time I find myself surfing by myself meaning I don't have to compete for waves and therefore don't need as much paddle volume as people with a lot more people to compete with. I can sit in the zone and pick and choose waves. The Step up is my least used board as I don't really wanna surf 6-8ft waves with no one else out.. but when I do use it im so glad I packed it!

[@alcoutop]

I think if you're a shortboard guy, it doesn't make much sense to go with mid-lengths as board quiver. I've had some bigger boards (6'4, 6'8, and 7'0) because I've always liked to experience a different surfing with different boards, but I would not have a foamie or long board to my quiver. Long boards are hard to duck dive and hard to turn. Plus, it slows you down on peaky days. Today all I have is one groveler ( Mutant 5'6) for the high tide and mushy days, my rocket9 (5'8) for the lower tide and more hollowish waves, and my sampler (6'0) for the "bigger" days because it gives me extra reliability on the drop. I feel I should replace my groveler to something like a everyday surfboard (5'7 Rocket Wide). My current groveler is just too wide and causes a ton of drag. It is easier to catch fat waves but super slow to paddle through the line up due to the flat rocker and its outline.

[@AuRowe]

Exactly, haven't touched one in years. I ride either 28 liters or a log/sup no need for mids imo

[@AuRowe]

Also huge fan of grovelers. Libtech makes strong construction and their magic flak bean bag and ramp series deliver for hitting central CA shorebreaks without too big of worries for snapping

[@milesniddrie]

I have 2 mid lengths and my fave is my new Mark Richards Mid length swallow twin which is 7ft, surfs like a 6'6 and turns small surf into stoke!! Beats a long board for sure!!

[@leee2410]

After many boards over 40 years of surfing, I’ve moved from a 9’6” Mal to an 8’ McCoy Nugget. It’s probably the best board I’ve owned lots of volume for an old bloke but rides and turns way shorter

[@a.lame.username.]

I've had Nuggets in my quiver since the mid 90's. They are an entirely different surfing experience. It's sad that most people can't wrap their heads around them and so never actually learn what they have to offer. For me, they tube ride better than anything else!

[@woutoosting9741]

@@a.lame.username. are they for rippers or for cruisers?

[@palesomim4306]

Great content!!!! Love the idea of mixing it up. I have been surfin since the early 80’s. Back then it was a one board quiver and maybe a big wave board. Now I have the extra money so my quiver has expanded. I still ride mostly thrusters but have a twinie and a quad in the mix. Love all my boards at the moment. Modern surfing and surf begs a variety of boards. Thank you for your cool style and insight

[@KalesBroccoli]

How good is surfing

[@mattclem382]

The Haydenshapes plunder is an absolute beast. You can size it up to a midlength with no issues. The level of performance is amazing. It's an older board but would love to see it in your midlength review.

[@paulcombes3782]

Kale , not sure if you preferred the Sharpeye or the Hayden (Cohort) but IMO , you surf the performance thrusters best . The Album may feel great but you were ripping best on those thrusters . Yew .

[@chrispewkreme]

If I could only have three, I’d probably choose a quality longboard, a mid length and a performance shortboard/Aipa Flat Earth The longboard is great for 3” waves up to 10’ and just does anything and everything. Practice style, enjoy nose rides, try fin reverses, whip it around, just have fun. Mid length is perfect for smaller weaker waves. Or maybe a bigger waves you’d like to get into earlier. Some bigger days at Haleiwa I like more volume in a midlength to get in early. I don’t want to late drop a shortboard. And of course a propert shortboard is just fin when you have some perfect waves to really enjoy it. But now that I foil, I would say sell those three boards and get a foil 😂

[@Machete2030]

hey, do u also surf with your foil? do u use a paddle, a wing or a kite? thanks!

[@chrispewkreme]

@@Machete2030 I mainly prone foil and it’s the best thing ever in the surf. I got a wing foil lesson. Like the handheld sail. And it was awesome. I then proceeded to be a complete moron and forget my board leash. Bird got destroyed and I popped my wing in the process of getting slammed on a rock wall and getting hurt and wrecking a board. Lesson learned, boards FLY downwind without a leash. Always wear one. I tried SUP foil but I just hate SUP in general.

Sweet video Kale! I started on a fish like your videos recommended and it was great to learn on and I still get out on it for smaller days. Transitioning to intermediate I bought the JS Bullseye and it was absolute game changer, so easy to paddle and get waves but it also really progressed my surfing. Highly recommend! Happy new year mate 🏄‍♂

[@KalesBroccoli]

awesome !!

[@MsLeche86]

@Bangers what type and size of surf do you ride the Bullseye in?

[@sicklad21]

​@@MsLeche86 From 1-6ft, with 2-4ft probably being the ideal range. Mostly beach breaks with fatter sections, but it holds in steeper surf too

[@18swimmerboy]

My favorite board by far is my 7’0. Works perfect in that 2-3 foot Florida slop.

[@slackstringlvr]

So refreshing to see a quiver that covers nearly everything 🤙

[@theseedsoflifebali]

My mates kypto krypto flipped out of the board rack off the scooter, up 8tf+ into the air and landed on its rails and had zero chips or hardly even scratched it. We were riding about 50ks per hour on a windy Sumatran day. Duck dived a 2-3 foot white water on my new bali made Christensen lanesplitter and it snapped clean in half. First surf. Go figure. Hayden shapes make good quality boards.

[@Ford_TImelord]

I can actually see my parents house in the background haha, Growing up and working in the surf industry made me think about how once there was a lot of local board companies on the mid and south coast and how now everyone seems to be riding mass produced boards as opposed to wear I live now where there are plenty of local shapers. I'd love to see the pool board test with a wildcard. Working with a local shaper that has made a board specific for you like you did on the larger board you mentioned here.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Buy local

[@ceeweedsl]

I can imagine that it just doesn't help viewers as much to see how a local shape other side of country or world works. Something they can't hardly get. Still it would be interesting for comparison.

[@Ford_TImelord]

@@ceeweedsl To clarify, I was thinking more about how Kale could work with a local shaper whereever he was on a specific board. Having all the boards that he has tested available to him under controlled situation at the pool is not something most of us have. I've found it very rewarding going through the process with shapers to make a board that suits him and then test it against the more mass produced boards.
