Chilli Middy Model Overview
After numerous custom orders, we're now offering the Mid Strength in a smaller size range from 6'4" down to 5'10". Like the Mid Strength, the paddling power of the Middy is unmatched with plenty of volume under your chest. The more compact length of the Middy now allows an, even more, heighten level of performance. Stand on the tail and the Middy turns on a dime, shift your weight forward and you'll be flying down the line!
Getting a little older, maybe not as fit, or your surf time has simply decreased? Sometimes you just need the board to do the work for you. The Mid Strength is made to paddle and catch waves easy in the top end, and once up and riding; trim, pivot and turn super easy with a little bit of release when needed. The curvy outline and rocker combo helps the board not feel long and straight like most mid-lengths, so it actually surfs like a much shorter board. Ride it, and guarantee you'll be converted.
James (Chilli) designed this surfboard over the summer of 2018/19 whilst he had a niggling knee injury and couldn't surf to his full ability on his standard shortboard. "I just wanted something that paddled easy, catches waves and surfed without too much effort", so the Mid Strength was created.
Essentially, this is a performance mid-length that should be a consideration for anyone who can competently stand and navigate along a wave.

Chilli middy review
I have now ridden the Chilli in typical summer conditions and the board goes mental. It’s fast and loose and my go to when the waves are small and gutless
