Not the Mid Length, but I did get to try a KL Surf Pro 8'4" a couple of weeks ago in Maui. I only got a couple sessions in because it was the beginning of the big Kona storms they had for 2 weeks.
It is a little more volume than my current board, 130L vs 115L, but dimensionally quite similar 8'4" x 30 vs. 8'5 x 30. It was much more stable than I expected (and than my Blurr v3) and I was pretty comfortable on it from the start. I feel like I had to concentrate a bit more to get the rail to "bite" on bottom turns but that could be any combination of: conditions, technique, new board, new spot jitters, etc. Kai Lenny can surf them so it is really probably just a me problem. That being said, both sessions were really fun on it. Waist to chest on the first session and shoulder-head high in the second. Enough so, that it is on my short list of next boards to consider - maybe the 8'2" version.
Construction is really nice and it looks great! It is not as light as my Infinity, however.
I was really hoping to try an 8'2 Carve Pro as well but they only had an 8'0" and that would have really been pushing my limit I think.
I had the same feeling first outing w a Large Reactor Tri setup. When I switched to Twins w a trailer it hit another level of speed and looseness. Quad setup felt good too but not as loose. I'd probably use the quad setup for bigger days.
