Moe Mini Surfboard Review | Thunderbolt Red Technology

Great midlength surfboard, the Moe Mini surfboard by Harley Ingleby, which is becoming a personal favorite surfboard that I've tried with a few things that took a little getting used to. A very suitable surfboard for beginner to advance level surfers. Built in collaboration between Harley Ingleby and Bill Tolhurst in the responsive and strong thunderbolt red technology.

Have you rode the Moe Mini or the Moe? What's your thoughts on them if you tried either?

I have a 6’6” Mini Moe and it’s such a great board. I’m UK based, so our waves are pretty weak. But it grovels so well, and when it gets bigger and more powerful, the board, just changes into a super charged, super responsive board. It covers so many conditions, but mostly importantly it’s so much fun to surf. I’m 53, so also like the stability when taking off….it’s my favourite board of all time!

I’ve got the 7’2 moe and it’s a fantastic board. Paddes great, catches waves easily, can still duck dive it easily (being 6’5 and 100kg might make that easier though) and is manoeuvrable and loose. Always have fun on it.
Would be interested to try a 6’10 mini moe to see the difference.

Thanks for the review. I have been considering buying the Moe Mini 6'6". I have the Moe Mini 6'10". It has been my go to board since I bought it. I have used in head high to knee high waves. I weight 185 lb.(84 Kg), 61 years old and I'm an intermediate surfer. I have even been able to pull off an off the lip the other day with it. I'm considering the 6'6" for bigger days when it becomes tiring to duck dive through the white water, even thought I can duck dive the 6'10.

Great review! I'm sold on this board and going to pick it up this weekend with same dims and color.

Great review! I have the Mid 6 7.0 and it is the best board i ever had. May be the mini Moe gonna be my next board for groveller

[charleshawk]

I have the same board. Harley recommends and designed it for large fins in the mini moe and extra larges in the regular now.

I have the 7'2 Moe and I absolutely love it. The only qualm I have with the 7'2 is that it's so hard to duck dive. I am 5'10 165lbs. How is the duck-divability of the 6'6 Moe? My surf break is in SoCal.

I gotta give you props... great review! Most reviews just restate either the obvious or what's on the website but this gives real insight. Loved the detail on the rails and where the edge changes, the category/comparison to the Outlier X, and your thoughts on feel and ideal wave size. Thanks!

QQ: Would you say that the hard edge on the rail is pretty forward on the board compared to the fin boxes? If so, do you think this allows you to turn better from the "middle" of the board as opposed to NEEDING to have your back foot over the fins? Cheers

Hello.
I often surf in powerless waves in Japan. The average is knee to thigh. I want to use it up to head size. I'm 45 years old, have been surfing for 4 years, am 174 cm tall and weigh 77 kg. Which do you think is better, 6'6 or 6'10? I'd be happy if you could tell me the reason.

Nice Review!
How do you compare the mini moe vs the Outlier X overall?
I actually have the Outlier X 6'9 that I really enjoy on chest and up waves, not so much below that
for everything below I have my Outlier Plus 7'0 that it really is a funboard but struggle a bit when there are a lot of longboarders outside... i'm maybe thinking of trading it for a CJ Slasher Low Pro 9'3...

🔥review Thanks. Did you have the chance to ride a mid6 7’0 or mini? Also wondering how you would compare paddling in the wave between moe mini and seaside and beyond ?
