How can we make this happen so that midlengths can be discussed in relative peace?
Seems like there's enough interest in them and enough discussion to warrant their own room seperate from the short and longboard rooms.




It won't last a month look at the sb room slowed right down the past few months,we don't give a rats who posts in here its all fun and a gee up.



hahaha with cuttlefish's 1.9 posts a week it will be rock'n





give a week and it will sound like this.

and appropriate for a mid length room


Why bother posting when posts attract passive/aggressive replies that make you wonder why you bother....hmmm?

I wonder if the slowness in the shortboard room has to do with what seems to be a pre-dominance of posters on there from WA?
In so far as many of them could be in Indo this time of year!



nope it imploded, a few of the funny regular posters dropped off all about the same time,shame really.

Yep, Doggie, Darth and WA71 all left at the same time. Strange that.

Mate, the lb room has never even been about Longboarding so why start now...

It's a forum for longboarders. Actually it wasn't even that, half of the original pimpstars rode 666rs till they saw the light..

So what if I ride a midlength. Fish or whatever. I don't ride wiggle sticks or do circus tricks so definitely not SB.

If you want to post it go for it...

And if others don't like it then dont read it.


Thats funny, Ive ridden hp shorties all my life and still cant do circus tricks
Personally Im not a longboarder but I have ridden a couple and some nice mid length boards as well. From what I see most people that ride hpsb are not riding at a high level me included but the enjoyment that I get out of been able to surf them and enjoy them is what I love about surfing.
In my mind if its under 7,6 its a short board and over that they get into the 'mal' range.
In my group of friends we all ride hpsb but none of us really rip/shred but we enjoy our time in the water and generally get great waves.
What Im getting at is that not all shortboards are wiggle sticks or ridden that way.

After all that im grabbing my 6,3 and going for a surf have a great day all

Yep that is it in one. You can't put it down to a person or even a few people, its more just the mood IMHO..It would surprise many to see how many WA locals on the SB room actually do chat and catch up, but just via Pm's or off the site as the camaraderie that seems to exist in the LB room is sadly just not possible in the SB room and to some point WA

I think its because too many take themselves far too seriously..

Haha yeah lack of talent doesn't help I suffer from that aswell but it isn't a length thing.
I have probably at least 6 boards under your mid length limit. All the way down to 5'10 not one of the is Hp and I will never own a machine shaped, sprayed white, logo'd up piece of disposable trash. My Merrick is tinted

It just not me. I grew up in the slater era and sitting in the water up to your tits never appealed to me. My first custom even had a round nose.

I get your point and understand why HP are fun to surf. I occasionally pinch a mates for a few but my idea is If you don't surf hp why ride one, push the volume out, add a 1/4 to the width, flatter the nose rocker. You'll catch more waves and have more fun but each to their own..

Ride what you want as long as you enjoy it.
I have mates that would spit in me for riding a lb if they didn't know me

What I was trying to say was (and I didnt do it very well) is that I guess anything upto 7,6 is short and over that is long. I know that comp longboards have to be 9.0+ but from what types of longboards Ive tried they have ranged from that size and up.
Dribbling again, post midlength stuff here and in sb depending on size I guess. It dosnt really matter anyway, dose it??

Me?
you must have me mixed up with Chrispy.
Don't remember any rants?

Sure specific people have pissed me off but they fall into the dick category.

I also would have said they are farking useless in the surf were I live but for flat water exercise and paddling they are great that's why I doubt I ranted cause I owned one till not long ago.
