How It Rides

Easy Paddle Power

At 6'8, this midlength gives you extra glide and momentum, helping you get into waves earlier and with less effort.

Flowy Turns & Clean Trim

Midlengths shine when it comes to trimming down the line and linking smooth turns. The Flying V is a great choice for surfers who want a board that feels stable and confident on rail.

The 2+1 setup offers a fun mix of hold and looseness. Ride it as a more classic midlength feel (larger center fin) or loosen it up (smaller center fin) depending on your style.
