Svala Midlength – Named after a swallow (bird) in Iceland/Nordic. Light and fast like this board.

Choose a Mid-length paddle with the speed and maneuverability of a twin fin. This is Svala Midlength Twin 6.8ft x 20 3/4 x 2.6 x 39.9L

Our version of an eggy mid-length with redistributed volume. This is the board that can help you improve your surfing or keep you focused on flow and style. Its wide outline and twin fin setup pick up speed quickly, and offers great control.

Foam Placement
- Svala Midlength’s beak nose and thickness profile means you can ride it narrower and thinner, creating more maneuverability and hold.

Sizing
- Ride it narrower and thinner than your typical eggy mid-length. We're always here to help you find the perfect size — just send us an email and we will start the conversation.

Difference
- With an average width of just around 20 inches — a difference of 2-3 inches compared to other mid-lengths — it’s easier to put a Svala Mid Length on rail. The twin fin setup frees up the tail and generates speed.

Who it’s for:

• Intermediate to advanced surfers who love the soulful feel of a twin-fin.
• Women and smaller-bodied riders looking for a balanced board with accessible volume and smooth control.
• Surfers seeking style, paddle power, and easy trimming in a variety of wave conditions — from mellow point breaks to clean beach days.
• Anyone drawn to elegant craftsmanship and retro-inspired performance.

WHY did we make this board?

Shoulder Width & Arm Positioning
- Women generally have narrower shoulders than men.
- On a narrower surfboard, their arms can extend more naturally into the water without hitting the rails (sides of the board).
- This means a cleaner, more efficient paddle stroke, which leads to smoother and often stronger paddling for their body type.

Weight Distribution
- Narrower boards tend to sit lower in the water, and for lighter surfers (many women are lighter than men of similar height), this can be an advantage.
- They don’t sink the board too much, so they keep a good glide without dragging too much water.

Less Rail Interference
- On wider boards, broader rails can get in the way of arm movement, especially for smaller surfers.
- Narrower boards reduce this issue, allowing for full reach and follow-through during each paddle stroke.

Better Fit for Smaller Frames
- Just like bikes or skis, surfboards should fit the rider’s proportions.
- For many women, narrower boards simply fit their frame better, making them feel more in control and balanced when paddling.
