The Indio Mid Length surfboard: the ideal companion for improving your skills and catching as many waves as possible
Designed by the renowned Spanish brand Pukas Surf Shop, the Indio Mid Length has established itself as a must-have on the market. This ultra-versatile ‘Mini-Malibu’-style hybrid shape is perfect for making the transition from a foam board or for making the most of small summer conditions without being weighed down by a longboard.
Shape and technical specifications:
- General profile: similar to a longboard but shorter and more manoeuvrable, its wide nose and generous beam provide maximum stability on take-off.
- Rocker and rails: a flat rocker makes paddling and navigating soft sections easier, complemented by a slight lift at the tips to prevent the board from digging in. The 60/40 rails, which are round and forgiving, compensate for positioning errors whilst remaining responsive.
- Hull: a double concave extends all the way to the fins to generate natural speed, combined with a slight ‘V’ on the tail to make rail-to-rail transitions smoother.
- Set-up: thruster rig (3 fins) in Futures Fins boxes, usually supplied with fins.
Construction: Indio Endurance technology:
Renowned for its rock-solid durability, Indio boards are built using a reinforced structure:
- Core: lightweight EPS foam block.
- Ultra-resistant epoxy lay-up: 3 layers of 6 oz fibreglass on the deck and 2 layers of 6 oz on the bottom. Together, this forms a 5-layer armour on the rails, making the board virtually indestructible in everyday use.
It’s the perfect choice if you’re looking for a sturdy board to ride wave after wave, perfect your turns and take your skills to the next level.
