Alex Gray's first ride on a CI MID

Minutes after picking up his new 6’7 Mid, Alex Gray took this beauty for its maiden voyage just a few minutes from our factory. Off to a great start it seems. He’s riding with 6.5” center and 3.6” sides from our CI Mid set of fins.

Super smooth

[@jakemarlow8998]

There are so many low-intermediate surfers who watch these clips of pros killing it on mid-lengths thinking that it's the surfboard that makes it happen.

[@FreshwaterFloof]

They’re actually pretty hard to surf well, and you need a good face to make it float well

[@jeffn1384]

And there's double that many who watch professionals on potato chip shortboards and think the same thing.

[@samuelkleos]

I’m one of those low-intermediate surfers and I gotta say mid-lengths are the only reason I can surf most days while my long boarding friends can’t. Why? It’s because waves are semi-catchable max 4 days a week (not blown out or dumping), in order to learn you need to push wave count, for wave count you need either paddle fitness or very very catchable waves, and to catch most semi-catchable fast-breaking waves on those you need a board that can turn faster.

[@jakemarlow8998]

Good point. I think the bottom line is that too many people aren't mastering the fundamentals on their beginner boards before "graduating" to their next surfboards. @@jeffn1384

AG - what’s happening with your right arm buddy ! New GoPro position ??

[@themarcusvega3270]

What’s it gonna be like if you slap in AMK twin fins on this CI mid?

[@clintonvargas5050]

This just in "Mid length cripples another surfer's skill, regresses back 60 years at least". First impressions "it's a great paddler" 😄

[@timdale4047]

No doubt you'll be on one in a few years mate once you grow up a bit. 😊

[@maynardlim9438]

What size is he on? Looks like a shorter one

[@spazmatazz]

I know another Alex Grey that rides longer sticks 😏

[@ShauninParadise]

If that doesnt make you want a CI MID you should quit surfing 😂
