How pulled in and foiled of a tail before a midlength is a "fun gun?"

I'll get back to you in April.

So sold on the mid. Couple really fun sessions on it from HH OH fat HT peelers to WH to CH zippy reelers yest am. Still on the 2+1. Interestingly enough I think I dialed in fin placement. Worth sliding 6" trailer up or down? Very fun board.

Is a step up fish considered a mid length?

OK thanks. Mine is pretty close to the front, but not all the way. Trailers are lined up right off the back making a tight cluster, tighter than a thruster cluster. Thruster cluster. Hey that rhymes.

Got a 6.5" Wayne Rich power fin in my middlie b/c that's what our Lord and Savior DeV-On recommends, with some 3.75" True Ames side bites... I set the fin dead center. If the waves are cracking, I push it back a tad toward the tail, if the juice is lacking I set it up toward the center a bit. But really I have had my best sessions and linked my best tuns when the fin is dead center or slightly back. For me that board, is best when there is some juice and some face to turn on.

A flexy single can feel really fun also in the the right waves... (predictable lined up glassy peelers). Got an 8.5" Greenough 4A for that purpose. I like singles on my backhand more but rarely use it.

Finally, as HW mentioned the twin and trailer goes surprsingly well in a mid 2+1. I have a tiny trailer (I think its 4.5") I jam it back pretty far to add some control to the Twins... and it makes the board feel about 6" shorter in its turns... but can feel a little out of hand at times... Now I have a mid twin also... my 2+1 will likely stay just that...

This is where the CBD / low THC helps.

Not yet. Been digging 2+1 but soon. Closest to thruster I have been riding recently. Been on quads since May.

I took CDs advice and grabbed a WL6.5. Art gets wholesale from TA and Jeff tracked one down for me. Picked up some Future honeycomb side bites. TA's were non existent and barley found a set of the Futures from Real in OBX of all places.

Looks like I set it pretty close to center......
