The Mid Tide is defined as a mid-length cruiser with some smaller sizes for the more petite girls and those with some intent to their approach.
The generous outline (shape) and ‘easy on the eye’ curves mean this board strikes the perfect balance between drawing long smooth lines in cruise mode and banking a nice turn on the open face.
Think easy paddling, lots of stability and enough turning response to satisfy the savvy Salt Gypsy wanting to really wet the rail.
All ages, all conditions… The Mid Tide is basically an all-round cruiser that will adapt to the rider’s ability.
*All Salt Gypsy surfboards were tested and designed with appropriate dimensions and volume allocations to suit female surfers so they can get the most out of every wave – they also come in a 100% stretch cotton dust jacket ensuring that zero plastic is used in the packaging of these surfboards.
