I would add the Chilli Middy to that list. As a distinguished older and at times injured dude like you, boards in this genre have been a game changer. All fun. All froth. Huge wave count. But still able to jam a turn where I reprise my youth again ... or least the way it feels.
Thanks mate, epic review, moved from steep thick fast moving water, to weaker faces but bigger surf 5'-10' in season and it's been brutal, been funshape foaming it out, typical performance shortie aint gunna cut it up here, add full winter gear 5mm min, turns any fun into a pure workout sesh. Just wanna rip without the cost of pocket management. Def adding this to my quiver for $500 bucks. 195lbs / 89kg, def need the float for these flatter sections/faces. Legend review ty!
Hey! great review ! how would you compare the Chilli Middy with similar volume to those boards ? I'm this ageing guy who look for a board to get back at it after after breaks, in small/weak waves as well as in clean and more punchy conditions... Thanks in advance :)
Hey! Have you seen our review of the Middy or Mid-Stength? They’re epic boards, these two just had very similar outlines and felt they were asking to be side-by-side ✌️
The first one reminds me of my Stamps Flare. As a 52yo, I’ve sadly let go of all of my traditional shortboards and have been trying to accept middleagedom. 😂. A torn shoulder and a herniated disc haven’t helped.
Hey! That sucks, but 20 years ago you’d be on a mini-mal, or a shortboard that continues to ruin your life.. So good there are these forgiving performance shapes available ✌️

Great comparison
Yeah, these two just have very similar outlines so felt the comparison was worthy. Middy is epic, and yeah it should be in the same realm…
Love your honesty. Thank you Craig❤

What’s the funky beat?
Not 100% sure… maybe Sarah the instrumentalist…
