The Rise of Mid Lengths in Modern Surf Culture
Mid lengths have quickly become a favorite in the surf community—and for good reason. Striking the perfect balance between performance and paddle power. Mid length boards offer the glide of a longboard with the maneuverability of a shortboard. Whether you’re a beginner looking for stability or an experienced surfer chasing smooth lines and flow, mid lengths deliver a versatile, user-friendly ride. It’s no wonder they’ve seen a surge in popularity across all skill levels and surf styles.

Both boards are already generating buzz for their versatility and performance across a wide range of conditions. The Tail Gunner combines smooth, drawn-out lines with a touch of extra hold in steeper waves, making it ideal for surfers who want confidence and control on bigger days. The ND Mid, on the other hand, shines as a true all-rounder—effortless to paddle, easy to turn, and perfect for everything from clean Reef breaks to Beach breaks.
