In this SUPboarder PRO head to head test we put six 100 litre mid length foil / wing boards up against each other. Mid Lengths have become the newer trend following wing boards going shorter and shorter over the past few years. Mid Lengths are longer than traditional wingboards but also narrower. These outlines glide more during non foiling allowing easier take off and tracking.
