The 'mini malibu' surfboard came to be after longboarders wanted to start riding waves in a more progressive way but without losing too much of that longboard glide.Ranging from 7'0-8'6 ft in length with a chunky nose and good amounts of volume these boards allow for easy paddling and wave catching ability. The thickness tends to begin to mellow out towards a thinned-out tail and this combined with a tri-fin set up on many of the boards allows for shortboard-like turns and maneuverability. Compared to short and hybrid boards though they remain nice and stable down the line which makes them ideal for someone looking to move on from their first starter longer board but start to be able to feel out some turns.
