The Mid6 series is designed to deliver maximum performance for medium length boards in all types of waves. The fine, rounded pin tail, the flowing shape, the smooth rocker with a bit of nose flip, are equally comfortable when turning deep in the pocket as they are in long, open turns.
High nose rails that extend to the middle and low hard rails at the tail, beveled from the middle, provide a nice balance of drive through sections, while still maintaining grip in tight turns.
While the Mid6 performs excellently in everyday surf, it is also refined enough to comfortably handle serious waves. Bill has blended the six channels perfectly. They are not so aggressive that they get stuck during turns, and it is very easy to break a line or extend your turn at any point in the wave. With the channels balanced between your feet, the response is instant when pushing hard through a turn and the acceleration is unmatched compared to any other board I have ever owned.
The Mid6 breaks the stereotype that channel bottoms are only good in clean waves. It has proven to be good at everything.
FINS: Thruster or quad fin setups work well with six channels for a positive feel. For 6'4 - 7'0 the new FCS Harley large mid set is recommended, and for the 7'6 and 7'10 Mid6 the FCS Harley XL quad set is recommended. Other fin combinations can work well, but we recommend medium to large quad rear fins with an 80/20 foil, paired with any flat large to XL front fins.
