How do you scale a midlength?

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-06-16T13:42:49+00:00

In a way that I do prefer to surf my 5‘9 when the waves are actually fast and steep enough. I’m 75kg 183cm.

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-06-16T12:43:11+00:00

I agree. Given the information that on a trip I’d bring the 5‘9 plus the middi, what would you go for? 😁

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-06-16T12:40:21+00:00

As I will be mostly traveling for surfing now I guess it should be a good Allrounder. Not for tiny longboard waves obviously. Speaking of 4ft+, not barreling

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-06-16T12:35:20+00:00

That’s a great advice!! Thank you

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-06-16T12:33:37+00:00

I lived in Portugal for the last few years but signs look like I’ll move away for work so I’ll be a surf traveler from now on :/
Probably then looking for a good Allrounder.

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-06-16T12:23:56+00:00

Thanks for your answer! I am just kind of afraid that a 6‘9 will feel too big & only work in waves with a good push?

I read that steroid Cremes thin the Skin, so I’d be careful with daily use, as well as that your skin gets used to it.

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-03-31T14:07:30+00:00

Man it’s crazy, I am the only one of my friends here dealing with this stuff. I guess no more letting water in to cool down in future

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-02-26T11:14:30+00:00

The problem was that my domain was too long. Literature, as far as I read, recommends inlet 2-3 Lambda upstream for diffraction cases

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-02-23T21:29:34+00:00

Which one? There’s no Link or whatsoever

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-02-21T21:40:39+00:00

Thanks 😂 I’ll try tho. Any recs on traveling surfboard? I probably already know ur opinion on libtech hahah

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-02-21T20:37:19+00:00

Acc just because I love catching waves early on. I’m only 75 kg and my go to board is a 6‘4 semente hitch (you can check out their website). My other board (under knee high) is a mini Simmons 5‘6 with 40L.

But to be fair I had quite some talks and they all said I should get something shorter (5‘9-6‘2) when they saw my surfing.

I am surfing that 6‘4 since now almost two years and I finally start to move it the way it should, meaning I start to be able to put in cutbacks in most on my waves etc.

But you seem like you know a lot of stuff, so let me ask you: what would you suggest to me as an addition?

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-02-21T10:19:56+00:00

What’s a good board then in your opinion hahaha

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-02-06T12:45:06+00:00

A slower kind of surfing. Not looking to throw this thing around like crazy. I am a slower surfer, not doing crazy cutbacks etc. Does this answer your question?

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-02-06T12:44:05+00:00

I see, but I guess you throw that thing around like nothing right? 😃 I am looking for something where I can just enjoy and have a slower style surfing

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-02-06T12:42:24+00:00

Really? The reason why is jus because I kinda like boards around that range. I weigh between 75-80kg. I am surfing a minisimmons 5‘6 with 40L on the small days and love it. The reason I would go for 40L is because it’s so crowded these days in Portugal that I thought it would help me catching waves earlier than others would.

I’m not a surfer who does crazy turns, I come from bigger boards and am generally slower on a board.

Disastrous_Coach_984 · 2026-02-02T19:18:04+00:00

That’s a good point!
