Mid-Length & Mini Mal Hire Coolangatta

The sweet spot between a mal and a shortboard — one board for whatever the Gold Coast throws at you.

If you could only hire one board for your whole trip, it'd be a mid-length or mini mal. These shapes paddle like a longboard, catch waves early and easily, but still have enough rocker and tail shape to throw turns when the surf turns on. The ultimate travel board.

Intermediate surfers feel right at home on these, and experienced surfers quickly rediscover how fun a bigger board can be. Rainbow Bay, Greenmount and Coolangatta Beach all fire on a mid-length — whatever's on offer, this board handles it.

• Incredibly versatile — paddles effortlessly, catches waves early and still turns well in punchy or peeling surf
• Ideal for intermediates — extra volume helps you catch more waves and link turns without sacrificing the fun
• Works everywhere — Rainbow Bay, Greenmount, Coolangatta Beach and Kirra all suit a mid-length depending on the swell
