Best Mid-Length with classic feel but excellent performance - LoveMachine FM Surfboard Review

Wow!!! Here is a board that looks good and surfs even better. I found this board to be super fun and likely the best mid-length I've surfed so far. It does have me curious about how much shorter I can ride it. The board was perfect for a mid-length for my little self but the performance was so good, it has me thinking that it can also be ridden much shorter. This definitely goes in my top 10 of all boards so far. IMPORTANT: the version I surfed is the Varial, which isn't available anymore. I will have to try and get my hands on a PU at some point to see the difference.
