Info

The MF Lightning is one of those once-in-a-lifetime boards that earns a permanent place in the rack. Born from Mick Fanning’s original CT-winning DNA model, it keeps the same proven foundation but has been fine-tuned for more everyday spark. Mick worked closely with Darren post-retirement to create a faster, sharper version that thrives in smaller, weaker surf, but still holds its own when things get bigger but lack push.

THE DETAILS

The Lightning is still in the MF family, but every tweak was made to add speed and precisions without losing control. 

Rocker: Same tail rocker as the DNA, but straightened between the feet for more speed. Increased nose lift to fit tight in the pocket. 

Concave: Flatter under the front foot for instant acceleration; deep single concave between the fins for extra lift and speed.

Outline: Narrower squash tail with no hip for added control; nose slightly narrower with extra flip.

Foam & Rails: Flattened deck to add foam under the chest; dropped rails for sensitivity 

Fin Placement: Rear fin moved forward 1/8" for a tighter turning radius in smaller waves.

 

HOW IT SURFS

The MF Lightning feels fast, sharp and lively underfoot where it generates instant speed and holds in through turns without washing speed off. It thrives in weaker to medium waves where that extra 'get up and go' makes all the difference, staying reactive and precise in the pocket for crips arcs and tight wraps. Thanks to the narrower tail and refined rails, it maintains control even at high speeds, giving you the confidence to push harder in smaller or softer conditions.

 

WHERE IT SITS IN YOUR QUIVER

The MF Lightning is the board for everyday conditions, it surfs fast and sharp in all conditions ranging from 1-4ft. A great all-round everyday board you can rely on. 

 

Quick Size Reference

Mick, currently weighs 80kg and is 5’ 10”, typically rides a 5' 10" Lightning for 1-4ft Snapper, D’Bah, Lowers, ect. We recommend you order this board the same length as your standard performance short board.

Take the guess work out of the flow!
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I got this because when my wife makes espresso, it's watery. When i make it, it's fine. We needed a controlled Tampering method so we both do the same job. This is heavy, and being able to use the whole hand instead of fingers, not much effort is needed. Since we purchased this, we were able to make consistent espresso shots for sure.

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it. After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is. I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.

This is the one.
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
As an el Supremo Coffee Geek, I've wasted money on lots of different tampers. Save your money and buy this one or it's equivalent. This thing is heavy duty, solid, well-made, self-leveling, tamps at 30 pounds and is fool-proof even for fools. Also, it's a palm tamper meaning more fun and more satisfying to use as you prep the puck for your morning buzz. Buy it. You will thank me.

Super easy to use and takes the guess-work out of getting even pressure on the grounds
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black, Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I have been using a hand tamper for many years and have a good idea of the pressure I am applying to the grounds in the portafilter. I honestly considered spring tampers to be a bit silly. But this tamper really does take the guess-work out of pressing the coffee grounds. The shroud helps guide the press so that pressure is applied even and flat across the surface. With the manual tamper, there will be some play when pressing, or some unevenness in pressure. This is especially true when cranking out many espressos during a breakfast party with friends. Having the spring tamper makes quick work of turning out a lot of coffees with consistency. There are no instructions for taking this tamper apart to clean inside, and you may not really need to do that very often. After each use, just pull back the shroud (the black piece that moves up and down) and wipe off the tamper (the shiny steel part). This will help prevent grounds from working their way inside. If you do want to take it apart, it’s easy. Pull back the shroud and unscrew the tamper. It will come apart into three pieces. Wipe the pieces off and reassemble. Super quick and easy. This tamper is very heavy. My scale shows 656 g (about a pound and a half). It fits the portafilter exactly, with no slop. Just place on top of grounds and press!. Don’t even worry about pressure, just push down all the way. Overall I had fun using this tamper versus my manual one. And since I make myself a cappuccino very early in the morning, I don’t have to be very awake to get a good pack on the grounds and get my coffee fast!

Quality and Function
Looks like a silly little thing, I am not a coffee enthusiast. But it does exactly what it is supposed to do and with high quality. The device (a stretch to call it that) is made of sturdy materials including the needles. They give you two different thicknesses of needles, one for expressi (0.3) and one set for coffee grinds (0.4). Each comes wth some spares. The stand is well designed and keeps grinds from spreading all over. It is very elegant design. I use this with a dosing funnel on my portafilter. Not the cheapest one could buy but well worth the money.
