About
the Minimal
Ahhhh, the mini mal. A board for all occasions, a board designed for
all seasons and for all people! Mini Mals have it all. The rounded
nose template makes catching waves simple (or as simple as it can
get anyway). The wide mid point means that they are stable, easy to
paddle and plane early. The tail template is shortboard related so
if you stand anywhere over the fins you will get tight turning arcs
and accurate performance. The bottom shapes vary depending on what
performance the surfer is looking for. The vee bottoms have more predictable
handling and help to iron out choppy conditions whilst the concaves
helps liven the board up in more challenging conditions. Most suitable
for... The funny thing is if you live and surf regularly in the U.K.
then pretty much you would appreciate a mini mal in your quiver. On
the face of it mini mals are ideally suited to learner / intermediate
surfers. If you stand near the middle of these boards you get great
stability and safe handling which suits anyone trying to get their
act together in the surf. Also because mini mals are relatively light,
they are easy to control and fairly easy to 'hang on to' in choppy
conditions all points that a learner surfer should be stoked to hear.
On the other side, many established surfers often choose to carry
a minimal in their quiver because these boards are so user friendly
in such a large range of surf conditions. If your usual surfboard
won't function because the waves aren't right then you can pretty
much guarantee a mini will function. By covering your basics, you'll
spend more time surfing. Further more, really good surfers sometimes
choose to ride mini mals (usually the smaller ones) and they tend
to be customized for higher performance. If you saw these guys surf
you'd wonder why anybody bothers with any other type of surfboard
because these guys totally rip on them. One final bonus that applies
to mini mals is that their second hand value is great. Because of
the demand for second hand mini mals if you do have one for sale then,
getting rid of it won't be a problem, for a half decent board you'll
expect something |
