Jon has spent years making many different versions of the mid length crisis, mostly customs for surfers in Japan, but lately he has been building them for a bunch of his friends and a few select customers and the response has been great, so we’ve decided to embrace the movement and offer our version of the mid-length to everyone.

Easy paddling, responsive and loose, the mid-length crisis has a semi-traditional, wide point forward outline that is sleek and race for fast, down the line drive, but full bodied enough to provide added stability and glide in weaker, slower waves.

It 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 of flip. It is designed for fast paddling and to easy to generate speed, carry flow and turn smooth at any speed,

The Bottom contours are a mild vee with a double concave built into it (toehold 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 the 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.

The Mid-length Crisis surfboard can a fun addition to your high-performance quiver, and is a great board to have for those of you who want to try a new approach to the same waves you’ve been surfing forever.
