The Haydenshapes Cohort II (also known as the "Mig") is described as a fast, basic shortboard, essentially a "squished" larger board into a groovier size. It features a flat bottom, a flat top, and low rocker, complemented by a parallel outline and a shallow swallow tail. This tail design aims to maintain connection to the wave face while providing release for maneuvers. The board is noted for its ability to handle big waves, which surprised the reviewer. Its speed and design lend themselves to creative surfing and a generally drivey feel. The reviewer suggests that while the core shape is solid, some aspects might benefit from minor adjustments to enhance its versatility and cater to a wider range of rider preferences. The overall sentiment is positive, highlighting its performance in generating speed and facilitating playful surfing, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a responsive and fun shortboard.
