The Story
The RYD Hank Dude Mid is a modern mid-length designed to sit perfectly between a shortboard and a longboard.
It gives you the extra paddle power, glide and stability you want from a bigger board, while still keeping enough control and flow to draw smooth lines and enjoy proper turns. Ideal for surfers looking to slow things down slightly without stepping all the way onto a full longboard.
The Shape
The Hank Dude Mid features a clean mid-length outline with a rounded pin tail, shaped rails and plenty of volume through the board.
The length helps with paddling and early wave entry, while the rounded pin gives the board hold and control through longer, drawn-out turns. It is built to feel smooth and flowing rather than twitchy, making it a great choice for surfers who want to cruise, trim and link turns with confidence.
The EPS core and carbon fibre stringer keep the board light and responsive, while the slick bottom helps it carry speed across flatter sections.
Where It Works
This board is well suited to a wide range of everyday surf conditions.
It has enough volume to make the most of smaller, softer waves, but the rounded pin tail and 2+1 fin option also give it hold when the waves have a bit more shape and power. It is a strong option for UK surfers looking for one board that paddles well, catches plenty of waves and feels relaxed without being boring.
How It Rides
The Hank Dude Mid paddles easily, gets into waves early and rewards a smooth, flowing style.
It is designed for drawing longer lines, trimming across open faces and enjoying the glide that mid-lengths are known for. Step back over the fin and the rounded pin tail gives you the control needed to turn the board properly.
It comes supplied with a single fin and can also be ridden as a 2+1 setup with side bites for extra drive and hold.
